The last modern vestige of screwball characters in names that I know of is in
the set of SVCs like IGC0004{ and IGC0004A in LPALIB. The last character in the
name corresponds to the SVC number. No problem for 1 - 9, but '0' is
represented by x'C0', which is the left brace in EBCDIC. Certainly not the rich
menagerie that SMP used to harbor, but it does look odd in a member name.

Yes. SMP (not SMP/E) used at least one PDS that was full of them.
