The value of the LOxxx keywords can be a full member name, a partial member name, or a pattern. Full and partial names do not include any wildcard characters; they specify a starting point in a list of members. A pattern includes one or more wildcard characters. It specifies that you want to select only the members that match the pattern. Although the LOxxx keyword usually specifies a starting point, when you use a pattern the selection is limited; members that do not match the pattern but exceed the pattern are not selected.

The value of the HIxxx keywords can be full and partial member names only; patterns are not valid.
