Choosing
the first section, you can give the dataset or datasets processed in the
following with path information, if necessary, in a direct way, where you can
use the special character ‘?’ for any character and ’*’ for any
group of characters in a dataset name (”wild-card information“) as usual in
MS-DOS to choose many datasets (giving dataset in
direct way).
In many cases you want to process all datasets of a directory or of a directory a n d all subdirectories of any level. This is possible by choosing the second
section for datasets of exactly one directory and by choosing the third section
for all datasets within a directory tree.
Special datasets of the actual program task and other excepted datasets are excluded form processing in any
case.
