Walt, The reason for my post is because I need to create a new MANAGEMENT class for the ISP.PROFILE.*. At the present, they are using a MC which does not expire the dsns.

If you were asking in the context of RACF data set profiles, then ** would match any number of qualifiers, including 0, whereas * would match only 1 or more. So, ISP.PROFILE.** would also match the 2-qualifier name ISP.PROFILE which ISP.PROFILE.* would not match. I do not know if that's true in other contexts, though, nor which context you were asking about. -- Walt Farrell IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
