A command written for, e.g., *bsd, Linux, Unix, will expect file names in Unix 
system and will use the library routine fopen(), which also expects Unix 
syntax. The library routine fopen() accepts an expanded syntax that allows 
specifying classical MVS datasets. It's not relevant to EXECIO and IEBGENER, 
since they already handled datasets befor Unix System Services cames along as 
OpenEdition.

Why should "supports fopen() syntax" be necessary.  I've variously used
EXECIO and IEBGERR; I doubt that either uses fopen().

Isn't fopen() a feature of a language (usually C) rather than of a command?
