    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.
