Shmuel,

I am trying to follow what you are asking, but am unsure  Are you saying there 
is something in a JCL environment that should be reported as an error, but it 
is not, until execution?

That would break existing JCL. There seems to be a curious mix of
things that work differently for no good reason aand things that are
consistent with old behaviors whose reasons are no longer relevant.
