IAREA='DP????C0'
IAREA='DPAS7*'
IAREA='DPA7???'
IAREA='DPAS7??'

Parameters

Specify either IAREA=ALL or IAREA=*, or any combination of the following parameter values:

Note

IAREA=ALL and IAREA=* can be used to specify all areas of the DEDB.

Value	Description
areaname areaname mask	Specify one or more areas by using the 1-character to 8-character area name for each area specified. You can also specify one or more areas by using the 1-character to 8-character area name mask for each area specified. Wildcard masks using the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) can be included. When using wildcard masks, the value of the keyword must be enclosed in quotation marks. The asterisk wildcard matches all characters to the right of the asterisk. The question mark wildcard matches the characters in the string in the place the question mark holds.
areanumber	Specify one or more areas by using the 1-character to 5-character area number for each area specified.
RANGE=( startarea, endarea) RANGE=(, endarea) RANGE=( startarea,)	Use this syntax to specify a consecutive range of areas using either areaname or areanumber parameters. The area number associated with startarea must be less than (and not equal to) the area number associated with endarea. When the asterisk is used with the RANGE keyword, it can be used to specify the beginning or ending range for specific areas of the DEDB. Warning Note Wildcard masks cannot be used with the RANGE keyword.
