Explanation

When continuing JCL parameters on the next line, the parameter must start between columns 4 and 16 (inclusive). Column 3 contains the continuation character (usually // or -/), and the actual parameter content begins in columns 4-16. This is a standard JCL rule for continuation lines in mainframe job control.
