There are tradeoffs in all this formatting stuff, seems to me. I think the way 
SEU did it had some justification that is probably written up in a design doc 
at IBM. Maybe the idea was that labels went to the left and that pushed the 
command to the right. Pure idle speculation on my part.  ;-)

I do like putting each parameter on its own line - quite readable. But it 
results in a longer, larger source member, and in very large source (who would 
ever get a CL this large?) one could theoretically run out of room. Not an 
issue in any real-life situation I can think of.

The division to separate lines does not, however, extend to parameters that are 
lists. Here is an example 

  CRTPGM     PGM(LIBRARY/PROGRAM) +
               MODULE(LIBRARY/MODULE01 LIBRARY/MODULE02 LIBRARY/MODULE03 +
               LIBRARY/MODULE04) +
               BNDSRVPGM(LIBRARY/SRVPGM01 LIBRARY/SRVPGM02 +
               LIBRARY/SRVPGM03)

I might like to see something like

  CRTPGM     PGM(LIBRARY/PROGRAM) +
               MODULE(LIBRARY/MODULE01 +
                 LIBRARY/MODULE02 +
                 LIBRARY/MODULE03 +
                 LIBRARY/MODULE04)
               BNDSRVPGM(LIBRARY/SRVPGM01 +
                 LIBRARY/SRVPGM02 +
                 LIBRARY/SRVPGM03)

Of course, pretty-print is almost as religious a topic as OS's.   ;-)
