Add a VSAM Pattern to the Work List

VSAM patterns can also be added to the work list, and provide a shortcut for applying a single routine to many data sets. Be aware of the difference between adding data sets to the list using a data set name mask or filter pattern versus adding a pattern to the list. For more information about patterns, see Pattern Implementation in this chapter.

Adding a VSAM pattern to the work list is done using the Identify VS Patn... function. The Identify VS Pattern panel is shown in the following figure:
