Using wildcards
Several initialization statements and commands can use wildcards
(a form of generic specification) to specify a subset that matches
a combination of characters (mask). JES2 use two kinds of wildcards:
- Multiple-character wildcard, which is specified by an asterisk
(*). The asterisk means zero or more characters of any kind can be
used here. For example, AB* matches ABC, ABCDEFG, or ABCXXE. An example of using a multiple-character wildcard follows:
Statement: APPL(OUT33*) compact=1... Command: $d node(out*),qheld=yes,qheld
- Single-character wildcard, which is specified by a question mark
(?). The question mark means any single character can be used here.
For example, ABC?E?? matches ABCDEFG or ABC1E23 but not ABCXXE. An example of using a single-character wildcard follows:
Statement: APPL(OUT?3?) compact=22,.... Command: $d node(out?A),qheld=yes,qheld
