CVAFFILT supports partially-qualified data set names using single
or double asterisk notation and the percent sign as shown in the following
text:
- You can use a single asterisk to represent a single qualifier.
For example, SYS1.*.LOAD designates any data set with three qualifiers,
the first being SYS1, the second being any qualifier, and the third
being LOAD.
- You can also use a single asterisk to represent zero or more unspecified
characters. For example, LOAD.*LIB designates any data set having
only two qualifiers, with LOAD being the first, and the second qualifier
ending with the character string LIB (for example, LINKLIB). The asterisk
can appear anywhere within the qualifier. You can use two single asterisks
in the following way: LOAD.A*B*.LIB. CVAFFILT does not support the
use of two or more single asterisks with any other character within
a single qualifier (for example, LOAD.B**.LIB is not valid).
- A double asterisk represents a place holder for zero or more qualifiers.
For example, SYS1.** designates any data set having SYS1 as its first
or only qualifier.
- You can specify a percent sign (%) as part of a partially-qualified
name. The percent sign designates any data set whose name matches
the partially-qualified name, except for the single character in the
position indicated by the percent sign. For example, SYS%.*.LOAD%
designates any data set with three qualifiers, the first being any
4-character qualifier beginning with SYS, the second being any qualifier,
and the third being any five character qualifier beginning with LOAD.
