Example Showing Length

The product matches only those terminals having a name the same length as the mask. For example, the physical terminal name is D72L561, and your Terminal Options Table contains the following entries:

RULE01   D72-4--
RULE02   D72-5 
RULE03   D72-5--

RULE01 does not apply because the characters in the fifth position do not match. RULE02 does not apply because the terminal name has seven characters and the mask only has five. RULE03 does match, so the software applies the options for this mask to the terminal.
