You can always make a command parameter bigger.
 
The problem is what do you do with fields for system output files.  The
output file for DSPOBJD has three fields, ODCPVR, ODCVRM and ODPVRM which
are all six bytes long.  If you change the length of these fields, this
will cause logic in programs to break.

Y'all
 
The SYSLVL parameter of RTVOBJD takes a 9-character variable. The format is
VnnRnnMnn. But, as Al says, there are lots of places that use 6-character
format - not the least being all the TGTRLS parameters, which are now
defined as *CHAR-8.
