As indicated at:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3lr10/3.1.1
the characters
@ # $
may be used in program names. However, this is because these (called
"national characters" in IBM-ese) are VALID in "file names" (and therefore
load module names).
Therefore,
Call "A#B"
Call "address@hidden"
Call "A$B"
Call "A_B"
would each call a DIFFERENT subprogram in an MVS environment. Any
"conversion" done on a workstation will be "incompatible" with the mainframe
behavior.
