Using pattern characters

Many screens accept pattern characters. Valid pattern characters are:

  • Asterisk (*)—Matches all values. Valid for specifying MVS and Db2 objects, creators, tables, and members.
  • Underscore (_)—Matches an occurrence of any single character. If an underscore is embedded in a string, the string must end with a percent sign (%). For example, xyz, xaz, and xbz all match x_z%. Valid for specifying Db2 objects only.
  • Percent sign (%)—Matches the occurrence of no characters or an unlimited number of characters. If a percent sign is embedded in a string, the string must end with a percent sign (%). For example, xyz, xz, and xmnoz all match x%z%. Valid for specifying Db2 objects only.

After you enter a pattern, File-AID/RDX displays a selection list. You can then select the appropriate name from the list.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
