Hi Terry,

Have you read the following (from regexec topic in the "ILE C Runtime 
Library" manual):

   If subexpression i is contained within another subexpression j, and i
   is not contained within any other subexpression that is contained
   within j, and a match of subexpression j is reported in pmatch[j],
   then the match or non-match of subexpression i reported in pmatch[i]
   will be as described in 1. and 2. above, but within the substring
   reported in pmatch[j] rather than the whole string.
