As the fine manual states:
length
specifies the length (in bytes) of the identifying name. The length of your identifier cannot be greater than eight.

This does seem somewhat like using a HUGE sledgehammer to crack a very small nut.
If you are using TSO/ISPF, read up on the copying facility within the editor, it is a simple process to use relative record numbering on the input to produce various outputs, that can be subsequently saved as required.
