About Data Set Names (DSN) List Dialog

This dialog retrieves Data Set Names (DSN) from the remote system as per wild card combinations below.

There can be only one '*' at the tail end of the name you are searching for.

Partial names are accepted but the high qualifier is required. Partial high qualifier should not be used.

When a wild card is included, the z/OS is searched for all data set names that match the high qualifier and the retrieved list of data sets is filtered for the exact requested wild card.

Examples: (Assume 'TSOUSER1' for high qualifier)

1. Select all data set names that start with 'TSOUSER1'.

      TSOUSER1.*   
   

2. Select all data set names that start with any 'TSOUSER1.TEST' where middle qualifier starts with 'TEST'.

      TSOUSER1.TEST*    
   

3. Select all data set names that start with exact 'TSOUSER1.TEST' qualifier.

      TSOUSER1.TEST.*
