Dave, Is this what you are asking? JCL in libraries need to be reviewed and if the secondary space parm is incorrect (according to your shop's standards) you want a way to make it better?
If I am correct, then this sounds like a JCL parser. Is that what you are looking for? Or something to frontend the converter to catch them? In my shop the users code SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)) which really is a pain here. Is that what you are running into?
