)GLV—Event Specifier of GLV Rules

The following is the format for coding the GLV event definition section:

)GLV glvnamespec

glvnamespec

Specifies the global variable name. Follow these guidelines when specifying the character string:

• Specify one to 50 characters of the complete GLVTEMPx or GLOBALx variable name. The x can be a letter from A to Z.
• The string cannot contain embedded blank spaces.
• You can use the wildcard (*) character. For example,
  • GLVTEMPA* matches GLVTEMPA.CICS, GLVTEMPA.IMS.UPTIME, and any other OPS/REXX global variable name with a stem of GLVTEMPA.
  • GLVTEMP*.CICS matches GLVTEMPA.CICS, GLVTEMPB.CICS, and so on.
  • *.CICS matches any GLVTEMPx or GLOBALx variable name ending with a tail name of CICS.
  • * alone matches all variables.
• Lowercase letters are acceptable, but the AOF converts them to uppercase for event testing.
