Enhance 126char console command limit

A z/OS Console Command is limited to 126 char.

For me this is a similar bad limitation as the 100 char jcl parm-limit
before z/OS 2.1 (which is lifted now with PARMDD etc.)

I´d like to have 1024char.

    Some method of accomplishing this task has merit and is possible but must be weighed in with other items.
