Yeah, I don't understand why IBM didn't just use DD card syntax instead of

If you want to INCLUDE a member, this is like a PROC, so you need to

You've got me to spot what I'd just stupidly missed: I had taken the JCLLIB to
be a DD, and it's not: it's a whole new statement. If I change it to:
// JCLLIB ORDER=PHS.PDS.JCL840
It works. Well, it fails later, but the JCL works! Thanks. I knew it was
something dumb.
