    Chapter 26. Requesting dynamic allocation functions
        SVC 99 parameter list verb codes and text units, by function
            Using system symbols in text units
I see:
    You can use system symbols to represent data set names, member 
    names, and path names in text units.    You can specify system symbols in 
the following text units
        Verb code 01 - Dsname Allocation Text Units
            DALDSNAM
            DALMEMBR 
            DALPATH

How can I specify a pathname that is literally "/u/myself/&DATE",
avoiding system symbol substitution?  Do I double the "&"?

Does this merit a RCF, or is it clarified elsewhere?

May the value of DALMEMBR before substitution be greater than 8
provided that substitution reduces it to 8 or fewer?
