Filtering file names
Procedure
To select files to work with, do these steps:
- On the option line of the TSO Client Main Menu, type 4 .
- On the left side of the Dataset Action panel, under DSLIST, type s to select a data set.
- 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
matchesxxFOO
andFOO
, but notFOOxx
.FOO*
matchesFOOxx
andFOO
, but notxxFOO
.*FOO*
matches any name that containsFOO
.
