What wildcards? Please give examples. Lizette Koehler also asked for examples/samples. >I need to get an extract file for every one hour and I need to add the job in >OPCA, so that by using wildcard characters for every one hour the extract may >get genrated automatically. Just what wildcards for hourly works? Your request is too wide for us to interpret. is it Dataset names, input in source DD? etc? >Please let me kow the detailed explanation i.e. wildcard characters that is >found in JCL to describe a dataset. You cannot use wildcards in a JCL for dataset, only symbols which can be substituted by SET statements or z/OS symbols. Only possible wildcards for datasets are in RACF profiles or DFDSS statements or such and then only in SYSIN or such DD statements. You can always use Automation package or write out a REXX/Assembler/COBOl/etc program to expand wildcards to fully expanded datasets.
