Additional usage information

  • Generic specifications are available with a limit 2000 resources that can be attempted.

    The limit of 2000 presents how many items are considered for enabling and does not guarantee how many resources are successfully enabled.  For example, if you specify CICS ENABLE TRAN * and during the scan of the CICS transactions to enable, those that are not eligible to be enabled are still counted as part of the 2000 limit.
  • You can use the plus sign ( + ) sign anywhere in the resource name to replace a single character. You can also use multiple plus signs to replace multiple characters. 
    For example you might specify L+P1 or L+P+. 

  • You can also use an asterisk ( * )  to replace all of the characters following the asterisk. Specifying DM* produces the same result as DM*1. 


The following lists additional REXX examples:

"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE TRAN DM+K"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE TRAN K1*"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE FILE STOCK+00"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE FILE STOCK*"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE PROG LODPGM+1"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE PROG LODPGM*"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE DEST C++O"
"IMFEXEC CICS ENABLE DEST EO*"

 

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