"?" should be used as a single wildcard character in Remote Z/OS search

The Remote z/OS Search panel in an older version of RDz (RD/z 7.6.2.4) supports using
characters "?" and "*" as part of the member name search. The version
that we are using (8.5.1) doesn't allow "?" as part of the member name.

In ISPF, we can use "%" as a single character wildcard and "*" as a multiple character wildcard. We would like to follow a similar pattern in RDz (maybe replace the "%" with "?").

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
