Member name (or mask)
Member name or mask to restrict the list of members eligible for processing. Cannot be specified in conjunction with a member name range.

If you have entered this field on the front panel of the utility and have selected the Advanced member selection option, File Manager populates this field with the same value.

or range from
The first member within a partitioned data set to be selected. Padded with blanks to 8 characters. If omitted, all members from the start of the data set to the to member are selected.
to
The last member within a partitioned data set to be selected. Padded with blanks to 8 characters. If the last specified character is an asterisk, padded to 8 characters with high values. No other wildcarding is allowed. If omitted, all members from the or range from member to the end of the data set are selected.
Member exclude filters
Specify member name patterns to exclude from processing members that would otherwise be selected using the member name or member range options.

Multiple string arguments can be entered. Use the comma character as a delimiter between the strings. Strings can contain the * and % wildcard characters.

To specify a filter containing lowercase characters, use a character string in the format c'string'. Filters can also be specified as hexadecimal strings in the format x'hex-digits'.

The following is an example of filters that would exclude from processing members with names beginning with the characters FMN or ending with the characters 99:
FMN*,*99
Updated by (User id or mask)
The TSO user ID by which the member was last updated. You can specify a generic user ID by using asterisks (*) and percent signs (%) in the usual fashion.
