How's your parser/syntax checker coming along, Ed?

Funny you ask. In thoroughly researching this, we found a module that would STOW members that had not first gone through member name syntax checking. Hilarious! It would accept *ANY* value. For example, you could specify, and it would STOW, members called * (asterisk), 0 (zero), +1 (plus one), etc.

Asterisk doesn't work too well when specified as a member name in ISPF. Zero and plus one don't work too well when specified in JCL. :-[

Naturally, a call to the recently-updated-to-include-left-brace member name validation routine was inserted in the appropriate location. A PTF will be created to fix this. ;-)
