Wherein I read:

Problem conclusion

    The member list processor and the data set list processor are
    enhanced to process scroll amounts greater than 9999. New ISPF
    system variable ZSCROLNL is provided to support scroll amounts
    greater than 9999. If a scroll amount greater than 9999 is
    processed variable ZSCROLLN is set to a value of 9999 and
    variable ZSCROLNL contains the valid scroll amount.

Awww gee.  Why not simply extend ZSCROLLN?  Is there a new limit?
Is ZSCROLNL set even when the requested scroll amount is <9999?
(The APAR doesn't say it is.)  So the programmer who wants to find
the real scroll amount must check for ZSCROLLN=9999 to determine
whether to use ZSCROLNL.
