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.

Thank you
