That's one of the very frustrating things about this problem.
Almost EVERY variation of these ISREDIT FIND's work just fine as the
'commands between the quotes' in TSO/ISPF.
So, why don't they work the same way in ISREDIT? Beats me, that's for
sure.

I am z/OS V1.12. I am using the F P'xxxx' ALL inside a member with your
exact data.
If I use
F ALL p'DISP=SHR=DSN=$PDQ$ALC$UNVLIB$$UCMIN$'
It works
If I use
F ALL p'DISP=SHR=DSN=$PDQ$ALC$UNVLIB$$UCMIN)'
It works. So not sure where the problem is. I will test later with an
ISPF macro. So native F ALL P'xxxx' works. Just need to check out the
Macro side.
