Generic Specification of Programs, Transactions, or Terminals

When you set monitoring or monitoring options for a specific program, transaction, or terminal, CA InterTest for CICS creates an entry for that program, transaction, or terminal in the monitoring table. Also set monitoring or monitoring options generically by specifying asterisks, *, and plus signs, +, to replace characters in a program name, transaction code, or terminal name. These specifications are interpreted according to the rules for the CICS CEMT transaction.

• An asterisk specifies any number of characters, including no characters. Specify more than one asterisk in a program name, transaction code, or terminal name. Do not, however, specify an asterisk by itself.
• A plus sign specifies just one character in a particular position. Specify more than one plus sign in a name or code. Do not, however, specify a plus sign by itself.
• Combine asterisks and plus signs.
