How DFSMSrmm uses jobname to apply policies

Table 1 shows how DFSMSrmm applies policies based on the jobname you specify and the DFSMSrmm parmlib EDGRMMxx member OPTION VRSJOBNAME operand value you use.

Table 1. How DFSMSrmm uses jobname to apply policies
If You Specify	DFSMSrmm Uses	And if There Is No Match
VRSJOBNAME(1)	The data set and job name to match a data set to a vital record specification. Job name is the primary value used to match the data set to a vital record specification.	A match by data set name only is acceptable.
VRSJOBNAME(2)	The data set name to match a data set to a vital record specification. If a data set matches multiple vital record specifications with the same data set name, then DFSMSrmm uses a job name to further qualify the data set name.	DFSMSrmm does not apply a policy to the data set.

Table 2shows the order that DFSMSrmm uses to match job names defined to DFSMSrmm to job name masks in vital record specifications.

Table 2. How DFSMSrmm matches job names to job name masks
Order	Description	Example
1	A specific job name matches a job name before any job name mask containing special characters % or *.	`RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('PRITCHAR.BACKUP.DATA') - JOBNAME(RMMJOB1)`
2	Any job name mask that includes a % or an * matches a job name.	`RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('PRITCHAR.BACKUP.BACK.DATA') - JOBNAME(RMMJOB*)`
3	A job name of * matches to all data sets that have a job name specified.	`RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('PRITCHAR.BACKUP.BACK.DATA') - JOBNAME(*)`
