FTP: Job search with a prefix longer than 8 characters does not throw an error

[zFernand0]

Describe the bug

The following scenario seems a bit inconsistent with z/OSMF.

If: your prefix is longer than 8 characters,
When: searching for jobs,
Then: you don't get any errors

To Reproduce

1. Go to the Jobs tree
2. Click on the search icon (next to a zosmf profile)
3. Enter * and test12345 for the owner and prefix respectively
4. See the following error
   
5. Click on the search icon (next to a zftp profile)
6. Enter * and test12345 for the owner and prefix respectively
7. See the results of the search being Owner: * , Prefix: <Your-ID>

Expected behavior

Even though the error may not be super descriptive, I was expecting to see an error since that's not a valid search filter.

Hi @zFernand0, @anaxceron, I had a test for prefix longer than 8 characters. Yes, it is not throw an error but it will list nothing. For the current design, that's behavior is expected and consistent with zowe cli ftp plugin. Thank you!

Hey @tiantn,
Thanks for the feedback.
After some discussion, we determined that it will be ideal to have validation on both ends 😋

Thank you @zFernand0! We plan to add the checking on zos node accessor so that ftp plugin and ftp extension can be benefit automatically.
