Perhaps we have something misconfigured, but I've wondered why I must
append an asterisk to a "prefix" value, say, to display all the CICS
regions on the DA screen. If I enter "PRE CICS" I get a blank screen,
but if I enter "PRE CICS*" I see all the CICSes that are running. Why
isn't "CICS" treated as a "PREFIX" when I say it's a PREFIX?
This is at z/OS 1.9 and earlier (back as far as I can remember).
