RFE?
DESERV? Does DESERV support wildcards, needed by ISRDDN? I don't see
that in the doc.

Does DESERV support UNIX directories? This is tantalizing:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idad400/d4280.htm
Each name is comprised of a two-byte length field followed by the characters
of the name.
When searching for names with less than eight characters, the names are
padded
on the right with blanks to make up eight characters. Names greater than
eight
characters will have trailing blanks and nulls stripped (to a minimum
length of
eight) before the search.
What, other than UNIX files would have "[n]ames greater than eight characters"?
Alas, the padding and stripping mean that 'WOMBAT', 'WOMBAT ', and 'WOMBAT
',
distinct UNIX files, would be conflated.
LMINIT refuses UNIX files. Something about F1 DSCB. Why?
