Re: Issue with embedded lists in a command

I beg to differ. QUAL is for qualified names - like library/object or 
the jobnumber/jobuser/jobname kind of thing that can be treated as a 
single component in the parameters.

Mixed lists are created using ELEM. From the documentation -

"If a parameter’s value is a mixed list, the elements of the list must 
be defined separately using an Element (ELEM) statement for each element."
