I think the upshot here is that support for symbols in *data* is a function of the program being executed. The 'system' will resolve symbols encountered in JCL, but the 'application' has to resolve symbols read from, say, SYSIN. That's why TYPRUN=SCAN will not show resolved symbols in data: the program is not actually executed. Whether it's EZACFSM1 or IEBGENER, the program has to run in order to resolve symbols.
