The syntax is
PA {[PAGE=]}{dsname[,dsname]...}
{NONVIO=}
So if I specified PA PAGE='SYS1.LOCAL,PAGE09' I would either expect
the dataset enclosed in the quotes to be used or, get a message
indicating that a quote was found instead of a dsname.
As for the PMR(if I remember correctly, this was back in the 1990s),
the IBM support person pointed out the error to me.
