Profile names for data sets
For naming profiles in the DATASET class you can use discrete, generic, or fully qualified generic names.
Table 1 shows the
rules for using asterisks in the profile names of data sets when enhanced
generic naming (EGN) is enabled and when it is not.
Note: Depending
on whether EGN is active, the ending * has different
meanings. These are explained in more detail later in this section.
Enhanced generic naming (EGN) option | Ending .** allowed | Middle .**. allowed | Beginning * allowed | Middle * allowed | Ending * allowed |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
EGN on | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
EGN off | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
