Cross posting to IBM Main and TSO-REXX I have just created this RFE, so you may or may not be able to vote on it. But when available, I hope you will vote for it
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=89817 This RFE is a request to enhance the DEL name MASK function to use more than just % or * (Star) I am hoping that IBM will include the functions like ISPF Picture strings. # Numbers @ Characters And so forth. Also asked to add regular expressions (long shot) to allow for a phrase somewhere in the name. As well as similar names (LINE/LANE/etc..) For example, I have a node in a dataset name that could be between 1 and 8 characters. I only want to delete the dataset if the name contains somewhere in that node a phrase DEL HLQ.%[LX9]%A.LIST MASK This would request a delete only if the file had somewhere in the second node LX9 and ends in A HLQ.LX9A.LIST would delete HLQ.LX9.LIST would not delete HLQ.ABLX92A.LIST would delete. If you like it, please vote for it.
