Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)parm longer than 100 chars
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
Allow the PARM= to be more
than 100 characters. With LIBR and REXX we are building up parameter strings
that need to be longer. The three parm statements are insufficient, because
often these parameters are built with symbolic parameters and keep each under
100 bytes is a limitation that can byte you in the future

Requirement
Type: (Select one:
Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability
- Packaging - Interoperability)
ease of use/functionality
Business Justification:
(Why?
Non-technical business case
description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above.
What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and
others? Quantify: run time, dollars,
manpower, etc. Why should the vendor
do this for the customer?)
This enhancement would make the program more
usable, enable functions previously not possible and save manpower. The present
limitations prevent us from using the system for some functions or require time
consuming and complex workarounds. This would enable broader use and simpler
applications.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
If lengthening the parm field would cause
compatibility problems, consider a new keyword, such as LPARM
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
Our systems would still be compex and difficult
to understand
