Accessing the Refined Selection List

You can access a refined version of the selection list that lists only entity names that include certain characters. In the NAME field, you can enter a partial entity name and any or all of the characters used to match alphanumeric characters.

Any one or all of these characters are used to replace characters in the NAME field. For example:

DQF***## in the NAME field indicates that you want a selection list that includes only those entity names beginning with DQF, followed by three alphanumeric characters, and with numeric characters in the last two positions.

@@@***## in the NAME field indicates that you want a selection list that includes those entity names beginning with any three alphabetic characters, followed by three alphanumeric characters, and ending with two numeric characters.

Any spaces in the middle of the NAME field remain spaces. Spaces at the end of the NAME field are filled with asterisks (**). For example:

DQF #### entered in the NAME field finds those entity names that include the characters DQF in the first three positions, followed by one space, and ending with four numeric characters.

To access the refined selection list:

  1. Type LST in the OPTION field.
  2. Type the characters for a partial name, or include the characters used to match unspecified characters (@, #, or *) in the NAME field.
  3. Press Enter.

The selection list appears containing a list of all names for that entity that match the specified characters.
