I didn't know that option existed but it does and it WORKS ! ! ! !
But beware! JES3 only! The facility is woefully broken on JES2.
It was briefly repaired over a decade ago by OW10527, then re-broken
a few months later by OW16674 apparently at the request of customers
who preferred compatibility with the historic JES2 misbehavior over
compatibility with the correct JES3 behavior.
I complained intensely enough that IBM disclosed to me a secret
command that re-enables the correct behavior. I've tested it lately;
it still worked. But IBM chooses not to document it.
IIRC, JES3 supports an LRECL for SYSIN up to 32K!
