But how did you enter the command?
o From an operator's console?
o From HLASM MGCRE?
o From an SDSF panel?
o From ISFSLASH?

The "/F" narrows the choice.  But there's still a cascade of interfaces.
The treatment of quotes resembles HLASM macro argument processing.
What does it do with:
o Internal apostrophes, single, doubled, and unbalanced?
o Internal amperrsandss, single, doubled?
It suffices to say, "not documented."  In which case it should be --
experiment should be only a validation.  "As enny fool kin plainly see!"
is not documentation.
