HI Paul,
It's up to the program processing the instream data whether 73 and on are treated as data or not.
IBM Utilities disregard everything to the right of Column 72.
I don't know where this is documented.

Regards,
David

Hi Paul,
It's not necessarily true for instream data that 73 and later are ignored.

"necessarily"?

Does that hedge mean it's sometimes true?

When?

Please cite the relevant documents.

The OP might learn more by prefixing ins shell command with "set -x;"
