Ricc,
You may use any number of asterisks and percent signs in the subentry 'value'
of the IF condition. However, for the 'to' and 'from' values on the CHANGE
statement there can be only one asterisk and it must be the last character (or
only character). When used for the 'from' value, it means that SMP/E must
change all names beginning with the specified string (SMPA.*). When used for
the 'to' value, it means that SMP/E must change all values meeting the
CHANGE criteria so they begin with the specified string. Your second example
illustrates this:
ZONEEDIT DDDEF.
IF (DATASET=*.TGTA.*)
CHANGE DATASET(SMPA.*,SMPB.*).
ENDZONEDIT.
Any number of asterisks are allowed in the subentry 'value' on the IF
condition, but in the 'to' and 'from' values of the CHANGE statement, there
can be only one asterisk and it must be last.
