I am dynamically creating a job file inside another job.  The
created JOB CARD command looks like this:

 !    ECHO !!JOB CCDXJOBT,CCBROKMD.HARTLYNE,CADEXTST;&  > *CCDXJOBT
 !
 !    ECHO !!INPRI=9;RESTART;OUTCLASS=HAMACC,2,1"       >> CCDXJOBT

When I print this file inside the creation job I see this:

 :PRINT CCDXJOBT
 !JOB CCDXJOBT,CCBROKMD.HARTLYNE,CADEXTST;&
 !INPRI=9;RESTART;OUTCLASS=HAMACC,2,1"

However, when I subsequently STREAM CCDXJOBT I see this:

 :STREAM CCDXJOBT
 Number of copies must be integer between 1 and 127. (CIWARN 1482)
  #J229

And in the resulting STDLIST I see this:

 :JOB CCDXJOBT,CCBROKMD.HARTLYNE,CADEXTST.
 Priority = DS; Inpri = 9; Time = UNLIMITED seconds.
 Job number = #j229.
 FRI, JUL 22, 2011,  2:39 PM

I note that the continuation line of the job card has been
discarded.  Evidently by the STREAM command. Why?

In testing for this problem I discovered that one cannot use the JOB
command directly from the MPE prompt.  It has been a VERY long time
since I have had to do this sort of stuff, but I seem to recall that
one once had the choice between HELLO and JOB at the system prompt.
Is my memory failing? Did this change at some point? Or am I simply
doing it wrong?
