Creating a filter for MVS Files

To define a filter for an MVS™ system, follow these steps.

Before you begin

Before you can create a filter for an MVS system, you must have created a connection to the system. See Creating a connection to a z/OS system for instructions.

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Systems view, under the connection name, right click MVS Files and click New > Filter.
  2. In the Filter string field of the New Filter window, type an uppercase filter string and click Next. The filter string is similar to the data set name level. You can use a single asterisk to represent zero or more characters. You can use double asterisks (**) to represent zero or more qualifiers. Given data set names A.C and A.B.C, for example, the filter A.*.C matches A.B.C, but not A.C, while the filter A.**.C matches both data set names.
  3. In the Filter name field, type a name for your filter and click Finish.. Your new filter appears under MVS Files.
  4. Expand the filter and, when the Enter Password window opens, type your user ID and password and click OK. If the connection attempt is successful, all the data sets matching your filter are displayed. You can expand a data set name and see the members in it.
