This program will check the validity of a filename for either the IFS or QDLS. If you specify a Replacement character in PARM2 then any invalid characters found in the filename will be replaced with this character. If you will be writing the file to QDLS then specify QDLS in PARM3 as the validity checking is different.
The filename will be passed back in PARM1 either the same as was passed in or with invalid characters replaced if required.

“R” = Invalid characters found and have been replaced
“F” = Invalid replacement character
