"/" in program parms is fully supported and only gets complex for old Cobol programs which are a special case. Normally LE parms come first, PARM='leparm/programparm' with any chars allowed by LE for program parms.... for compatibility with old cobol (OS/VS Cobol and couple of other compilers, all decades obsolete :) ), reverse sequence is supported. For new Cobol this is controlled by yet another option CBLOPTS. Lots of complexity to keep things working as is for old programs (and often set wrong for new programs :) ).
