PL/I compiler options cut off

A client reports at https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/480466/how-can-i-get-all-of-my-pli-compiler-options-to-wo-3.html that they would like to use a long set of PL/I compiler options, but it gets cut off by IDz, forcing them to break up compiler options so they are shorter than ~60 characters.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit an enhancement for IBM Developer for z/OS. Customer input is invaluable to our products and many new functions and enhancements result from feedback. All input is very important to us to improve and serve our customers.

    We realize this Request for Enhancement has been in our backlog for quite some time and it is currently still not in our roadmap for the next two years. Instead of keeping it indefinitely in our backlog we have decided to respond with a decline. Please also see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/developer-for-zos/16.0?topic=steps-cobol-pli-step-options regarding compiler options contain more than 100 characters.
