)USS—Event Specifier of USS Rules

Use this format for coding the USS event definition section:

)USS msgidspec

msgidspec

Specifies the message ID specifier. Follow these guidelines when specifying the character string:

• Specify one to ten characters of the message ID.
• The string cannot contain embedded blank spaces. You can use the wildcard (*) character. For example,
  • IMW* matches IMW234, IMW56, IMW6705 and any other USS event identifier containing an IMW prefix.
  • IMW*05 matches IMWCD05, IMW205, IMW67505, and so on.
  • *05 matches any message ending with 05.
  • * alone matches all messages.

  Note: For information on using this specifier, see the chapter “Code and Debug AOF Rules.”

• Lowercase letters are acceptable, but the AOF converts them to uppercase for event testing.
