On a Z/OS v1r7 system, from the TSO READY prompt, I do:

oshell uname -a

allocate dd(foo) path('/etc/profile')

end

 IKJ56113I INVALID RESPONSE

This is painfully similar to the former behavior of IKJ56700A,          
somewhat fixed in APAR Item OW50742.  The principle is the same:        
if an interactive sytem prompts a user for input and supplies a         
list of acceptable responses, then it must in fact accept at least      
one of the responses presented as acceptable.                           
                                                                        
See also APAR Item OZ84458.  A similar resolution is needed             
in this case.  In fact the behavior above can be considered a           
regression of the problem in OZ84458.

But it leaves me wondering: doesn't anyone ever sit in front of
a terminal and test these things?
