Jim,
This may look a bit silly and may not be very efficient but how about letting Store do the checking. Be aware that I'm making assumptions on how Store works...

:purge t
You can then check STOREJCW and/or STORE_ERROR. If it's 2306, the fileset is likely valid. It does not tell you what's wrong with it, not does it tell you if it will actually back up all the files you want / don't want.
Just an idea.

Hi Jim,
There isn't a single CI function which does this. However, you could parse out filenames left and right of the minus sign and pass each of these filenames to FSYNTAX. You might need to special case the fact that a space is required after the minus in POSIX syntax.
HTH,
Jeff Vance, vCSY
-----Original Message-----
Among the CI evaluator functions there is one called
FSYNTAX("<string>") that evaluates a string and then returns another string indicating what kind of filename was parsed or an error if nothing or an invalid one given. Is there a similar function available to parse whether or not a string is a valid STORE fileset expression, like "@[log in to unmask], @[log in to unmask]@ - @[log in to unmask]" for example?
Regards,
Jim
