Wildcards (OMS command)

For COMMANDS, SUBTYPES, and LABELS, you can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard indicator at the end of a quoted string to include all commands, tables, and/or charts that start with that quoted string, as in:

OMS
 /SELECT TABLES
 /IF SUBTYPES = ['Correlation*']
 /DESTINATION...

In this example, all table subtypes that begin with "Correlation" will be selected.

The values of LABELS can contain asterisks as part of the value as in "First variable * Second variable Crosstabulation," but only an asterisk as the last character in the quoted string is interpreted as a wildcard, so:

 OMS
 /SELECT TABLES
 /IF LABELS = ['First Variable **']
 /DESTINATION...

will select all tables with labels that start with "First Variable *".
