name typed is automatically prefixed by the TSO prefix if not enclosed in single
quotes. For example, if your TSO prefix is set to FRED and you want to specify the
history file name FRED.HIST, type either
HISTor'FRED.HIST'on theFault history file or view
line.If missing, the ending quote is automatically added.
- View names are member names in one of the data sets that is associated with the
IDIVIEWS DDname. These are
specified by enclosing them in parenthesis. For example, to specify that the view
member ABC is to be displayed, type
(ABC)on theFault history file or view
line.If missing, the closing parenthesis is automatically added.
To obtain a list of history files from which a selection can be made, a history file pattern can be specified using wildcards, consisting of one or more percent signs (%) and/or asterisks (*):- *
- A single asterisk by itself indicates that at least one qualifier is needed to occupy that position. A single asterisk within a qualifier indicates that zero or more characters can occupy that position.
- **
- A double asterisk indicates that zero or more qualifiers can occupy that position. A double asterisk within a qualifier is invalid.
- %
- A single percent sign indicates that any one single alphanumeric or national character can occupy that position.
- %%…
- One to eight percent signs can be specified in each qualifier.
History file pattern Resulting list 'FRED.*' All history file names with FRED as the first qualifier and at least one more qualifier. 'FRED.**' All history file names with FRED as the first qualifier. 'FRED.**.HIST' All history file names with FRED as the first qualifier, HIST as the last qualifier and zero or more qualifiers in between. 'AAA%*.B*%%%B' All history file names that start with AAA, have at least one more character in the high level qualifier, and have a second qualifier that begins and ends in B, with at least three letters between the Bs. The rules for using quotes around history file names also apply to history file patterns.
The first qualifier of a history file pattern, after prefixing if applicable due to unquoted specification, must not consist of wildcards only, for example '*', '**', and '**.HIST'. However, **.HIST is valid if running with PREFIX ON.
- For history file names, the standard TSO naming convention applies, that is, the
name typed is automatically prefixed by the TSO prefix if not enclosed in single
quotes. For example, if your TSO prefix is set to FRED and you want to specify the
history file name FRED.HIST, type either
