  COMMENTS:
  Two problems with ZIFIL. The first problem is when ZIFIL is
  entered with a missing closing quote of a full pathname, the
  user gets an OPR-4.
  The second problem is if the user enters /dev/tpf_tape in upper
  case, z/tpf creates a directory /DEV/TPF_TAPE and write the
  file to that directory instead of a tape. That can lead to too
  many files getting written in the z/tpf file system.
  

Problem conclusion

• SOLUTION:
  This apar fixes the OPR-4 when the closing quote of a full
  pathname is missing. CYBD will check if the end of the message
  is reached before the ending quote. That prevents from checking
  end of message storage area which can lead to OPR-4.
  
  The second problem is addressed by not accepting directory name
  /DEV/TPF_TAPE in ZIFIL. Error IFIL0011E 10.21.25 SYNTAX ERROR,
  will be issue if that directory is entered as part of the ZIFIL
  command
