With regard to *START/*END the restriction to use the file name is
silly. We don't have that restriction when using a key or RRN, so why do
we have it with *START/*END?
Or, if we absolutely must use a file name, then WHY OH WHY can't it give
us a clear error message that says "hey dummy, you need to use a file
name with *START/*END" instead of the really confusing and unclear
RNF5319?

I don't think it would be good to simply say that a file name is--
synonymous with its record format name if there is only one format. At
least, it doesn't make sense to me to allow say using a format name on
an OPEN opcode.
