The LOGIN command (and it's a command built into the EXEC, not a separate
program, for the non-20 types reading along) is simply returning the error
message from the monitor.  Since the LOGIN% JSYS expects either a username or a
directory name as an argument, the appropriate response to an empty command
argument is what you get.

Nothing strange about it! :->
