Wildcards Used in OPSCTL COF Commands

Follow these guidelines when using wildcards in an OPSCTL COF command:

• For certain keywords that you specify on the DELETE, ACTIVATE, DEACTIVATE, and LIST commands, you can use the asterisk (*) character as a wildcard suffix.

  For example, this keyword value matches CICSPROD, CICSTEST, CICSSYS2, and any other job name beginning with the characters CICS:

  JOBNAME(CICS*)
  

  Where wildcard suffixes are valid, the ability to use them is noted in the keyword descriptions.

• For the JOBNAME and STEPNAME keywords on the DELETE command, you can specify the asterisk (*) character by itself to match all job names or step names.
