Specifying selection criteria
You specify selection criteria in the
APPSEL and APPVAL sections
of the buffer to limit the instances of an object that are located
by HCL Workload Automation for Z.
APPSEL contains a selection field name and a comparison
operator that determines how the value for this field is used. You
supply the field value in the APPVAL section. API object fields describes the field names
and field values of each
object, and the selection type of each field. There are select fields:
- Required
- For a GET request with a
key type of OWNER, PRED, or SUCC, you
must specify these fields and the operator must be EQ to ensure that
there is only one possible match. When the key type is SAME, these
fields are optional.
For PUT and DEL requests, you must specify these fields. Also, the key type must be SAME and the operator EQ.
- Optional
- You can specify the field in the APPSEL section, but it is not required.
- Not supported
- You must not specify the field in the APPSEL section.
You can specify these operators in the APPSEL section:

EQ or = | Equal to |
NE or ^= | Not equal to |
GT or > | Greater than |
LT or ˂ | Less than |
GE or >= | Greater than or equal to |
