    File name wildcards

    The asterisk (*) wildcard character is used to substitute for any
    number of characters in a directory name, file name, or file type.
    The asterisk is also used to mean all versions of a file when used in
    the version number field of a file specification.

    The percent sign (%) wildcard character is used to substitute for a
    single character in a directory name, file name, or file type.

    A zero (0) specified in the version number field of a file
    specification means the highest version (most recent version) of the
    file.

    A negative zero (-0) specified in the version number field of a file
    specification means the lowest version (oldest version) of the file.

    The ellipsis (...) wildcard in a directory specification is used to
    indicate that you want to operate on the files in the directory
    specified and the files in any and all other directory levels below
    the directory.

                 You cannot use wildcards in device names.

    For information about using wildcards, see "Using wildcards for
    specifying files" in the "Tasks ..." help topic.
