Naming MVS files
The z/OS NFS server uses the comma (,) as a delimiter to a list of file
attributes.
Do not use a comma as a special character in file name. For example,
you can
enter this command:
$ vi "/u/smith/new,text"
This indicates to NFS that a file called new is being edited in the
attribute text
mode, not file new,text.
And while the delimiter can be changed, (perhaps entirely disabled, unlike
ISPF's
delimiter), this is in global options and may adversely affect other users who
depent on using ',' as a delimiter.
