In Program Management: User's Guide and Reference" I read: "[LONGPARM] applies mainly to programs that are invoked using a JCL EXEC statement or a z/OS UNIX EXECMVS callable service."
"mainly" is tantalizing. It leads the reader to wonder what exceptions might exist. For compatibility with historic behavior, I'd expect NOLONGPARM (the default) not to be enforced when a program is invoked by LINK, ATTACH, etc. or from an unauthorized STEPLIB concatenation. I'd expect a list of exceptions, or at least an example.
