Wildcards provide a method for generalizing a file designation to encompass a set of local files. Standard DCL wildcard techniques work for both local (RMS) files and remote files for those remote FTAM systems that support the NBS-9 document type. If using wildcard techniques with remote FTAM systems does not work, you should complete the file designation. The supported wildcard characters include an asterisk (*) to represent a text string, a percent sign (%) to represent a single character, or empty brackets ([ ]) to represent all files in the local default RMS directory.
