In the following commands and macros, wildcards may be substituted for one or more characters within a path name:
DELETE-JV or ERAJV
SHOW-JV-ATTRIBUTES or STAJV
SHOW-JV-LINK or LNKJV
Wildcards can be specified in the names of temporary and permanent user job variables and in the names of special job variables. Non-privileged users may use them within the catalog identifier and the job variable name. Wildcards may not be used in the $SYSJV name section of special job variables.
Wildcards cannot replace any delimiters in the path name. In commands, the permissible use of wildcards is indicated by the suffix with-wild (n) (with-wildcards) in the data types <filename> and <partial-filename>. The specified length n=80 or n=79 only refers to the length of the entry. Using wildcards means that the entered path name, including wildcards, may be longer than 54 characters. Nevertheless, path names formed by this character string may only contain a maximum of 54 characters. The specification of wildcards in user IDs is reserved for the privileged user. See the “Commands” manual [1] for more information on specifying wildcards.
Examples
SHOW-JV-ATTR JV=*ALL
Shows all permanent job variables under the user ID, and in a sum line the number of all permanent job variables and the total length of their values.
SHOW-JV-ATTR JV=**ALL
Shows all job variables which end with the character string “ALL”. The wildcard “*” at the beginning of the character string must be specified twice.
SHOW-JV-ATTR JV=///
Shows all job variables whose names are precisely three characters long, and in a sum line the number of all job variables that are three characters long and the total length of their values.
(e.g. :catid:$userid.ABC, :catid:$userid.DEF, etc.).
SHOW-JV-ATTR JV=<D,M:O>*
Shows all job variables whose names begin either with D or with a character from the range M through O, and in a sum line the number of those job variables and the total length of their values
(e.g. :catid:$userid.DORA,:catid:$userid.DIETER, :catid:$userid.MARTHA, :catid:$userid.NORDPOL, :catid:$userid.OTTO).
SHOW-JV-ATTR JV=-*HA
Shows all job variables which do not end in the character string “HA”, and in a sum line the number of those job variables and the total length of their values
(e.g. :catid:$userid.ANTON, :catid:$userid.HANS etc.).
SHOW-JV-ATTR $SYSJV.M*
Shows all special job variables which start with M.
(e.g. $SYSJV.MONAT and $SYSJV.MONTH)
