Is there any limit to the length of a TSO command other than that imposed by
the aggregate length of the various operands?
ISPF Command Shell imposes a limit of 240. Absurdly small given that a PATH()
for ALLOCATE may be up to 255.
Panel ISRTSOA accepts 3 x ZSCREENW then quietly truncates to 240. I loathe
quiet truncation.
What's the API for TSO commands called so I can look it up?
BTW, similar question for JCL statements. Remember that symbol substitution
may result in a statement (much) shorter than coded.

It depends. You doing SUBMIT? You feeding your JCL to the INTRDR
with JES2 or JES3?
Are you expecting your PARM= to be limited to 100 characters, or
would you like it to be more than that (PARMDD in the JCL REF
z/OS 2.1).
And, off the top of my head, TSO has a limit of 256 characters.
But I haven't needed to deal with that problem for a decade or so.
