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.
"You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!" -- what I say to a junior programmer at least once a day

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.
