TSS argument propagation feature

If you type wildcard characters (*) in certain result fields of a TSS table entry, the argument value or the appropriate number of characters from the argument is propagated to that field.

If the argument of a TSS table entry that uses the Argument Propagation feature contains wildcard characters, these characters continue to function as wildcards. The following table shows sample TSS argument propagation.

The TSS Argument Propagation feature is supported for most TSS table type arguments. In the ETA online interface, field titles with a double underscore identify fields that support the feature. You can also see the descriptions of each TSS table type for information about which fields support the feature. For the location of information about each TSS table type, see Types-of-TSS-tables.
