If you are z/OS 1.8 or later<

Naturally, we are at z/OS 1.7.

This is the sort of thing I was looking for, however. For the
time being, I'll just
accept the truncated PARM= and deal with it in the
application (as per Bill
Wilkie's earlier post).

Thanks, gentlemen.

David

Why not just append blanks to the end of the PARM yourself?

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYPROG,REGION=4M,PARM='&ZUSER '

You can then just ignore the extras. This only works if you are only
interested in the &ZUSER as your example showed. If you have other parms
at "fixed" offsets, then this won't work.
