I could find that behavior useful.  I have at times expressed a wish
that undefined symbols be reported as JCL errors.  So I need only
follow the symbol with a period and an error will (probably) result
if undefined.  For example:
    //SYSUT2  DD  DSN=&NAME.,RECFM=VB

will result in a JCL error if NAME is unset, rather than naming a
temporary data set.

Are the statements numbered in the job log, or do you just need to guess?
