I have found what I would consider a bug in MPFNREXX. Others may find it WOD.

The exit expects the first 8 characters of the message line to be the message number.

We are trying to eliminate a product that placed messages on the console that were shorter than 8 characters. Such as:
ZADD AAAAA BBBBB

The exit was passing to AXREXX a rexx name of 'ZADD AAA'. Then, an error would be returned saying that rexx 'ZADD AAA' could not be found in the rexx library.

I have quick fix now. I will clean it up a bit and see if I can get it back to the original author.

It may not matter to anyone else, but if anyone needs the same fix, let me know.
