Error description

• I am trying to correctly configure the JCL generation to use
  imagecopy
  datasets that conform to our naming conventions.
  
   I am adding to member .SADBSLIB(ADB2UCUS) to tailor the
  imagecopy
  datasets, but I have two little problems.
  
  1)  The JCL generator always produces imagecopy steps using
  LISTDEF.
  The old version did not do this.  Is there a choice, or does the
  new
  version always use LISDEFs now?  I cannot find an option
  anywhere to
  choose this.
  I do not have a problem with using LISTDEFs, as such, but it
  gives me a
  problem because I cannot fit the required template for the
  dataset name
  in the space available on one line.
  
  2)  I cannot fit the required template in member ADB2UCUS on one
  line.
  
  What I want to come out in the JCL in the utility  SYSIN is
  this:
  
  TEMPLATE SYSCOPY
  DSN
  'BK.&SSID..&DB..&TS..P&PART(4,2)..D&YE(3,2).&MO.&DA..T&HO.&MI.'
  
  However, it does not seem to be possible to code this in the
  ADB2UCUS
  member because it is too long  even though the resulting dataset
  name
  is not too long.
  I have to change all "&" to be "&&", to prevent substitution, so
  it
  would be even longer in the ADB2UCUS member.
  
  'BK.&&SSID..&&DB..&&TS..P&&PART(4,2)..D&&YE(3,2).&&MO.&&DA..T&&H
  O&&MI.'
  
  Is there any way continue onto a second line? I cannot find a
  way to do this?
