Wild Card Restrictions

When using wild cards, the following restrictions apply:

Wild cards cannot be used to process a group of PDSE or PDS data sets. For example, ABC*(DE) is not allowed. However, wild cards can be used to process a group of PDSE or PDS members, as shown above.
Only one wild card can be used in each data set name. For example, ABC%E%.XY and AB*.C(E%) are not allowed.
Wild cards cannot be used in the first character of the data set name. For example, %BCDE.XY and *ABC.D are not allowed.
