Expecting anyone to enter a command that long without an error has ignored the human interface factors. Even DUMP lets me point to a parmlib member where I can take my time and get it right. I rarely use a 'real' console, so finding the key to pull up the last command I entered so I can try to correct my mistake means trying to retype the command all over again. Another chance to have a typo an start all over again.
