Mask scenarios
Consider a scenario in which you have the following data set groups:
- MYGROUP.DATA.SET1
- MYGROUP.DATA.SET2
- MYGROUP.DATA.SET30
- VSAM.MYGROUP.DATA.SET
Table 1 shows several masks and the information that each mask returns.
| Mask | Information returned | Information excluded |
|---|---|---|
| MYGROUP.DATA.* | MYGROUP.DATA.SET1 MYGROUP.DATA.SET2 MYGROUP.DATA.SET30 | VSAM.MYGROUP.DATA.SET |
| **.DATA.** | MYGROUP.DATA.SET1, MYGROUP.DATA.SET2, MYGROUP.DATA.SET30, and VSAM.MYGROUP.DATA.SET | — |
| MYGROUP.DATA.SET% | MYGROUP.DATA.SET1 and MYGROUP.DATA.SET2 | MYGROUP.DATA.SET30 and VSAM.MYGROUP.DATA.SET |
| MYGROUP.DATA.SET%% | MYGROUP.DATA.SET30 | MYGROUP.DATA.SET1, MYGROUP.DATA.SET2, and VSAM.MYGROUP.DATA.SET |
