How do you have your parms set in the PARMDD input?
I was told each parm needs to be on a separate line. Not sure how accurate that
is.
Have you tried individual lines?
Which way is your input coded?
//MYDDNAME DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
PARM1,PARM2,PARM3,etc
Or
//MYDDNAME DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY
PARM1
PARM2
PARM3
Etc...
