CLUSTER LEVEL Selector

The CLUSTER level selector allows you to target specific or generic clusters. You specify the CLUSTER level selector as:

CLUSTER=PAYROLL.MASTER+ (constraints for any    'PAYROLL.MASTER'  file)

The cluster name can be a full cluster name (all characters) or a generic cluster name.

Generic names specify the first fragment of the name, followed by a plus sign to indicate a variable number of "don't care" characters (but at least one character). For example CLUSTER=PAY+ matches all four character or longer cluster names that start with the first three characters PAY. This specification includes clusters with names like PAYROLL.MASTER.FILE, PAY.AUDIT.TRAIL, and PAY.HISTORY.FILE as well as others.

Note: The fragment specified for a generic name can be any portion of the name. For example, you do not have to 'break' a cluster name fragment at the end of a qualifier.
