Yup. That's what I was referring to when I said " I'm sure I could wrestle
with the rules for continuing quoted parameters, but that makes an obscure,
difficult to maintain mess IMHO."

Subject: Re: Tips for continuing DD statement with only one parameter field

JCL Reference is your friend:

//S1       EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM='THIS IS A LONG PARAMETER WITHIN APOST
//             ROPHES, CONTINUED IN COLUMN 16 OF THE NEXT RECORD'

Example 4 shows continuation of a parameter field when a parameter is 
enclosed in apostrophes. The parameter field is continued from column 71 
of the first card image to column 16 of the second.

APOST - 'T' has to be on 71th column
ROPHES - 'R' has to be on 16th column.
