I actually missed the real cause here. The failed variable resolution produces a ciwarn, which wont kill the job.
The real problem was adding the comment text to the start of the line pushed 'buf' of 'maxtapebuf' off the end of the line, and it was the line :-
Buf
With no ! or : in front that caused the real cierror to flush the job.....a lesson learned, but not the one I first thought.

Hi John,
I've also tripped over this where a comment (or *) still tries to evaluate the !variable. I guess there are just oddities in MPE that defy logic. One would think that a comment atcually means ignore everthhing after the command on this line. Of course I expected LISTFILE to work like LISTF. We've solved the problem with the comment and the variable by replacing the ! with | (vertical bar) whenever we comment a line with the ! in it. You could always delete the line but I prefer commenting for maintainability.
