The (new) abend/reason code happens to be 306 reason x'44'. In most (but not all) cases, it is unimportant to understand in advance what the abend code is going to be when something bad happens. What is important generally is that if you get that abend you can easily understand what the problem is. And I'm not implying that IBM documentation necessarily meets that challenge.
There's actually another case that I had forgotten about. Sorry. It's kind of obscure: If - you attempt EXEC PGM=x and - x is in the PPT and - there is no joblib/steplib or there is a joblib/steplib and it is an APF-authorized concatenation then the LONGPARM restrictions apply. (When there is a non-APF-authorized joblib/steplib concatenation, PPT attributes are not used - they are applied and then, when this is discovered, discarded) i.e., if the PPT conferred additional properties (whatever those properties might be), LONGPARM restrictions apply. While not all the properties would necessarily require the restrictions, we chose not to distinguish.
