Filtering file names

Procedure

To select files to work with, do these steps:
  1. On the option line of the TSO Client Main Menu, type 4 .
  2. On the left side of the Dataset Action panel, under DSLIST, type s to select a data set.
  3. On the File name filter line of the View Files List panel, you can specify a character string to be used as a filter for the file names presented in this panel.
    The filter string can consist of any nonblank character; it can also contain the standard ISPF masking character, an asterisk (*), to indicate a match of zero or more characters. Only file names that match the filter string are presented in this panel. Consider these examples:
    • *FOO matches xxFOO and FOO, but not FOOxx.
    • FOO* matches FOOxx and FOO, but not xxFOO.
    • *FOO* matches any name that contains FOO.
