Wildcards for CTGHSTRY

A mask can contain a specific name, such as PROGRAM1, or a generic designation containing a combination of characters and wildcards.

A plus sign (+) wildcard character can replace a single character; an * wildcard character can replace multiple characters.

Example

PROG++++

Matches any eight-character name that starts with PROG, such as PROGTEST. It would not match PROG123 because it contains only seven characters.

Matches a name of a name of any length that begins starts with the characters PROG, such as Prog1 or PROGTEST.

Note

Wildcards cannot be used with User Id, CICS APPLID and CICS Job masks.
