To define a filter for an MVS™ system,
follow these steps.
- In the Remote Systems view, under the connection name,
right click MVS Files and click New
> Filter.
- 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.
- In the Filter name field, type a
name for your filter and click Finish.. Your
new filter appears under MVS Files.
- 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.
