How did it know "path name"?

<snip>

ZLIB/ZIP ZIPFILE(test17my17.zip) FILES('This 40'' boxcar.txt')

REPLACE(*APPEND)

This leads me to believe it got past the command line and errored out
while actually processing it.

Then it needs to be doubled once more.

ZLIB/ZIP ZIPFILE(test17my17.zip) FILES('This 40'''' boxcar.txt')
REPLACE(*APPEND)
