when label Z is specified, ".Z label invalid" is displayed.
Is there any specific reason for this?

because the ISPF developer so decided :-)

Quote:
A label must begin with a period, and be followed by no more than 5 alphabetic characters (8 for edit macros), the first of which cannot be a Z. Labels beginning with Z are reserved for use by the editor. No special or numeric characters are allowed.


regards
