More easily, with either of:
=> allocate path('/dev/null')
=> send 'Hello' user(*)
TSO commands have had case-sensitive arguments as long as I can
remember. ISPF has always been wrong to case fold arguments of
the TSO command.
And here, I discover another TSO idiocy:
send Hello user(*)
IKJ56700A ENTER MESSAGE TEXT ENCLOSED IN APOSTROPHES -
'Hello'
IKJ56712I INVALID KEYWORD, HELLO
IKJ56703A REENTER THIS OPERAND -
wtf!?
