This is one of a class of problems. Behavior of 'vmcp' depends heavily on the VM/CP command processor, which is rather more than a man page should contain. So many things are up-stack.

I truly appreciate that it mentions escaping special characters (like "*"). Now we just need a primer for VM newbes on a 3270 (3215) console ... yet more special characters. -- Rick Troth Senior Software Developer Velocity Software Inc.
