Than's not "only".  You also changed the content of SYSUT1 in
my example.  Try it with the SYSUT1 I cited, with or without DCB:

//SYSUT1    DD  *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY,DCB=LRECL=222
   This is a test of symbol use in instream data sets.   Test here: &TEST

What do you claim was invalid about my DCB.  Cite Reference.
