And some utilities accept partial stems, such as:
EXECIO
    ...
    STEM var-name
    ...
    When var-name does not end with a period, the variable names are appended 
with numbers

This is useful in the API to such as ISPF Edit which prohibits '.' in
variable names.

What about:
    'EXECIO 3 DISKR ddname (STEM X.Y.Z'  /* Lacks final '.'  */
Does this define X.Y.Z0, X.Y.Z1, X.Y.Z2, and X.Y.Z3?  Is Y substituted?
