I'm trying to write a command that has a qualified job as one of it's
parameters.   My code looks like this:

             PARM       KWD(JOB) TYPE(JOB1) PROMPT('Job Name')

 JOB1:       QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) SPCVAL((*))
             QUAL       TYPE(*NAME) PROMPT('User')
             QUAL       TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6) RANGE(000000 999999) +
                          PROMPT('Number')

However, this won't compile.  I get this message:

* CPD0244  30  '*         ' for SNGVAL or SPCVAL parameter not valid for
first QUAL statement in group.

If I change SPCVAL((*)) to SPCVAL((*CURRENT)) it works, but that's not
what I want :(  I want this to work just like the IBM commands, for the
sake of consistency.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
