Overview of the SELECT and REJECT subcommands

Message Advisor’s SELECT and REJECT subcommands let you process messages on the IMS message queues according to criteria that you specify. The SELECT subcommand lets you select specific messages for processing. The REJECT subcommand lets you exclude specific messages from processing. You can include both subcommands with the following command sets:

DEQUEUE
DISPLAY
REQUEUE
UNLOAD

All of the SELECT and REJECT subcommand keywords are also valid on the following subcommands:

CHANGE (see CHANGE subcommand)
GROUP (see GROUP subcommand)

The table in SELECT, REJECT, CHANGE, and GROUP subcommand keyword groups lists the keywords that are common to the SELECT, REJECT, CHANGE, and GROUP subcommands.

The SELECT and REJECT subcommands are not required for the DISPLAY, REQUEUE, and UNLOAD command sets. One of the SELECT, REJECT, or INTERVAL subcommands is required for the DEQUEUE command set.

Syntax, keywords, and parameters are identical for the SELECT and REJECT subcommands, except for minor differences as noted in the individual keyword descriptions.

Message Advisor allows the following masking characters (m) for most selection keywords:

? replaces exactly one character in a multicharacter string.
* replaces any number of characters.
Masking characters can be embedded in the string.
