Problem Note 2943: FSLIST command may open the Open File dialog window with member name
syntax
If you use member name or aggregate syntax with the FSLIST command such
as in the following FSLIST command:
fslist myfiles('mydata.dat')
where MYFILES is a fileref that points to a directory, PDS file, or
minidisk (CMS) and 'MYDATA.DAT' represents a file or member within that
directory, PDS file, or minidisk, the Open file dialog window may
display as if the file you have referenced does not exist. If you do
not select a file from the Open window, you may then receive the
following warning message,
Warning: Physical file does not exist, c:\mydata.dat).
To circumvent this problem, you can use this member name syntax in a
PROC FSLIST statement or you can continue to use the FSLIST command if
you specify a fully qualified filename in either the FILENAME statement
or in the FSLIST command itself.
