MBRNAMX (MNX)

The MBRNAMX parameter specifies a member name range that excludes a subset of members based on the characters from the member name.

The syntax of the MBRNAMX parameter is:

MBRNAMX=(from-value,to-value)
        (,to-value) 
        (from-value)
         from-value

from-value,to-value

These variables specify the FROM and TO endpoint member names to exclude from the member list. The member names can be complete or partial. Pattern characters are not allowed.

As with the USERID parameter, the FROM value is padded with low values, and the TO value is padded with high values. Entering the same characters in the FROM value and TO value excludes all members beginning with those characters.

The FROM or TO values can be up to eight characters for a PDS, PDSE, or CA Librarian library, and 10 for CA Panvalet library.

Example 1
$$DD01 LIST MBRNAMX=(EMPL,EMPL)

This example prints all members excluding names that begin with the characters EMPL.

Example 2
$$DD01 LIST MBRNAMX=(,ACCTBZZY)

This example excludes all members from the beginning of the directory through member ACCTBZZY.

Example 3
$$DD01 LIST MBRNAMX=ACCTBZZY

This example excludes member ACCTBZZY and the remaining members through the end of the directory.

In addition, you can specify multiple FROM and TO value ranges and the maximum size of all value ranges is 1024 bytes.

The individual ranges should be separated by a semicolon ( ; ), and if the ranges are continued onto multiple statements, the last character should be a comma ( , ) or semi colon ( ; ).

The MEMBERS and MEMBERX parameters are not supported with MBRNAMX.

Examples

$$DD01 LIST OUT=0,MBRNAMX=(A,B;X,Z)

$$DD01 LIST MBRNAMX=(AA,AA;AC,AC;AE,AE;AG,AG;AI,AI;AK,AK;AM, AM;AO,AO;AQ,AQ;AS,AS;AU,AU),OUT=0

$$DD01 LIST MBRNAMX=(AA,AA;AC,AC;AE,AE;AG,AG;AI,AI;AK,AK; AM,AM;AO,AO;AQ,AQ;AS,AS;AU,AU),OUT=0
