Specifying pattern strings with x2afpd

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

The pattern string consists of a keyword=value pair. Valid keywords are:

  • class
  • destination
  • forms
  • jobid
  • jobname
  • time

Separate the keyword and value with an equals sign, =. Do not include spaces between the keyword and value, or in the value itself. The content of the value depends on the keyword, and on information that is specific to your particular installation.

Notes:
  1. For all of the keywords except time, value is a simple string that can contain the wildcard characters ? and *. The question mark matches any single character, and the asterisk matches any number of characters. The value can also contain brackets, [ and ], to enclose the string. The pattern matches any one of the characters between the brackets. If you use a dash, -, to separate a pair of characters, the pattern matches either of the characters in the pair. It also matches any character that falls between the two characters in the current locale. For specific examples, see Examples – x2afpd daemon command.
  2. For the time keyword, the value is a range in the form start-end. The start and end times are either in the form hhmm, or a date and time in the form yyyymmddhhmm. The time range is in the local time zone, and uses the 24-hour clock. If you do not specify a date, x2afpd captures output within the given time range every day.

You can specify more than one pattern, but you can only use each of the keywords one time. Separate the patterns with spaces. For example:

:jobname=ABC* destination=PRT01
