Follow the the guidelines in the TDP manual, which says that the drive
letter should be specified as a question mark, plus other details.
Note that you can check your options file coding by the commands:
  dsmc q opt         or     dsmc show opt
  dsmc q inclexcl    or     dsmc show inclexcl
depending upon your client level.
