The mask character provides a means of identifying CCDB entities that match specified criteria. You can specify as much or as little of the entity name as you want. The more information you give, the more specific the set of names that are identified.
Use the name mask when you want to enter partial entity names or name segments. For example, if you have a series of entities whose names all start with the characters ABC, you could specify "ABC*" in a command and thus identify all of them.
A name mask enables you to specify that all names, or all names beginning with a particular series of letters, be considered when performing a command. A name mask is only acceptable for the ENTITY NAME value, where applicable clauses are shown with a "-mask" in the syntax. For example, for a MODIFY ENTITY command, in the clause:
ENTity NAMe is entity-name
You can replace a name-mask with an asterisk (*), an entity name such as "XYX100", or enter a name mask such as "XYZ*".
