That doesn't work:
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=jcl-coding-symbols-in-apostrophes>
You can code symbols in apostrophes on [only --gil] the following keywords:
The DD statement AMP parameter
The DD statement PATH parameter
The DD statement SUBSYS parameter
The EXEC statement ACCT parameter
The EXEC statement PARM parameter.
Not SET. I believe the following works:
// SET Q=''''
// SET ACTIONVAR=&Q&ACTION&Q
Is this well-documented?
I hate JCL!
Does "ACTIONVAR" have too many characters?
