You can define a filter for an MVS™ system.
- In the Remote Systems view, under
the connection name, right-click MVS Files and
click .
- In the New Filter window, the Filter
string field is pre-filled with a variable &USERID..
You can overwrite the variable. Type the rest of the filter string
and click Next.
The filter string
is similar to the data set name level. You can use a single asterisk
to represent zero or more characters. You can use double asterisks **
to
represent zero or more qualifiers. Given data set names A.C and A.B.C,
for example, the filter A.*.C matches A.B.C, but not A.C, while the
filter A.**.C matches both data set names.
*
as
part of a qualifier means 0 or more characters at this position in
the qualifier, unless it is the last character of a filter. In that
case *
acts like *.**
and means that this qualifier
must exist and can end with 0 or more characters, followed by 0 or
more other qualifiers.
The only
wildcard character that is supported in this field is *. The % wildcard
character is not supported. Usage of a wildcard in the first qualifier
is not supported.
- In the Filter name field, type a
name for your filter and click Finish.. The
new filter is added to MVS Files.
- Expand the filter and, when the Enter Password window
opens, type your user ID and password and click OK.
If the connection attempt is successful, all the data
sets matching your filter are displayed. You can expand a data set
name and see the members in it.
