Select DSN to Resolve Wildcarded DSN

The Select DSN to Resolve Wildcarded DSN screen opens when you type a wildcarded DSN in any of the DSN fields. A list of the DSNs that match the wildcarded specification displays on this screen. Selecting the DSN replaces the wildcarded DSN.

Follow these steps:

1. Type a wildcarded data set in any of the DSN fields. Use the standard ISPF wildcards: *, **, and %.

   The Select DSN for Edit Data Set screen opens. This screen displays the name of each data set that matches the wildcard criteria, the volume serial that contains each data set, and the file type of each file. The file type values are as follows:

   CLUSTER

   VSAM Cluster

   DATA

   VSAM Data Component

   INDEX

   VSAM Index Component

   NONVSAM

   Non-VSAM

   GDS

   Generation data set

   GDG

   Generation data group

   PATH

   VSAM path

   AIX

   VSAM Alternate Index

   ALIAS

   Alias

   CAT

   User catalog

2. Type S next to the DSN you want to select, and press Enter.

Note: You can optionally browse or edit any of the non-VSAM data sets from the Resolve Wildcarded DSN screen using the ISPF browse/edit functions. To browse or edit a non-VSAM data set, specify either B (to browse) or E (to edit) next to a DSN.
