I'm extending com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.ui.uda.NFSUDActionSubSystem so
that I can add User Actions to my own types.

I also add to the list of available substitution variables....
Currently available are things like &N (Name), &L (Library), and &T (*Type).

It is this &T that is causing me problems, as I want to add variables
&TOSRCF, &TOSRCL, &TOSRCM, etc.

If I have a command such as: SNDMSG MSG('File=&TOSRCF')
I get results that show File=*FILE, instead of File=QDDSSRC because the
parser wants to substitute &T (type) instead of &TOSRCF (File)

Is there a way to override this behavior so that it looks for the longer
variable first, then the shorter one?

If not, is there a recommended prefix that I should use that indicates it
is a variable I'm defining?
like &*U*TOSRCF.... but &U is already taken. I would want to ensure that
whatever I pick will not be added by IBM in a later version.

Thanks
