  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When running procedures which contain   *
  *                      bracketed literals or bracketed         *
  *                      variables which contain a hyphen, users *
  *                      may haveunpredictable results. If       *
  *                      setting a variable, the value will not  *
  *                      be set properly.                        *
  *                                                              *
  *                      In the following example an opening     *
  *                      bracketed value of slash asterisk will  *
  *                      be represented by '/#' and a closing    *
  *                      bracketed value of asterisk slash       *
  *                      will be represented by '#/'.            *
  *                                                              *
  *                      For example,                            *
  *                      when the following statement is run     *
  *                      from within a QMF procedure:            *
  *                      RUN MYPROC(ARG=(D=/#VAR-NAME D ==>      *
  *                      NOT-OK#/                                *
  *                      the value for variable D is not set at  *
  *                      all.))                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Module DSQCRCMT was corrected to properly process
  bracketed literals or variables contained in QMF procedures.
  Note that the same statements run from the QMF command line will
  be processed correctly.
