Finding resource definitions with predefined search criteria

Option 4.2 Find displays a list panel of resource definitions from a single CICS® configuration that match one of the following predefined search criteria:

For the search criteria, you can enter either a specific value, or a pattern to match multiple values. A pattern can contain an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to match zero or more characters, and a plus sign (+) as a wildcard to match any single character. Figure 1 shows an example of the report for transactions using a specified program: in this case, any program whose name matches the pattern DFH*.
