Programs pass data back and forth by receiving pointers (memory addresses)
of the data that you specify in a parameter.

However, when you do a SBMJOB, the new job can't have a pointer to
the data, since it's a different job.   Therefore, a command line is
created containing the program to execute in the new job, and new memory
is allocated, etc, when the new job starts.

I'm not trying to solve the problem here, just explain why it happens.
