Filtering for generation data sets
Extra care must be taken when using wildcard filtering for generation data sets. You must use either of the following names:
- The fully qualified data set name
Example: USER1.GDG.G0001V00
- The fully qualified name with relative generation
Example: USER1.GDG(-1)
- The partially qualified base name with the last qualifier (GggggVvv)
not specified
Example: USER1.GDG.*
Partial qualification of the last qualifier (GggggVvv) is not supported unless a wildcard (% or *) is specified in the first character of the qualifier
Example: USER1.GDG.*V01 is valid but USER1.GDG.G* is not valid.
Another way to get all generations of a GDG using wildcards would be to specify USER1.GDG.%%%%%V%%.
