Frank:
I think if you need to use system symbols you need the C/I and that
means no SVC 99 support either.

That's not really 'wildcarding'. In any case, I use MacKinney

variables, but it doesn't.

Subject: Re: to use wildcard characters in JCl
Hi Elardus,
There is a dataset which get updated every hour in our production
system,
actually i need to ftp that particular dataset every one hour.
For now i'm submitting the job manually by changing the date and
time for
every one hour.
I'm not clearly aware of wildcard datasets that can be given as a
input DSN
in JCL.
Input dataset name is same, but I need to get output using wildcard
in JCL
with different time on hourly basis.
for example, in ftp sysin----> *//PUT 'default_file_name'
date_time.txt*
date_time.txt should be like 140727_0900.txt @ 09:00 AM
If possible kindly let me know wildcard details for REXX program,
this may
be useful for me in future.

What wildcards? Please give examples. Lizette Koehler also asked for
examples/samples.
I need to get an extract file for every one hour and I need to
add the
job in OPCA, so that by using wildcard characters for every one
hour the
extract may get genrated automatically.
Just what wildcards for hourly works? Your request is too wide for
us to
interpret. is it Dataset names, input in source DD? etc?
Please let me kow the detailed explanation i.e. wildcard
characters that
is found in JCL to describe a dataset.
You cannot use wildcards in a JCL for dataset, only symbols which
can be
substituted by SET statements or z/OS symbols.
Only possible wildcards for datasets are in RACF profiles or DFDSS
statements or such and then only in SYSIN or such DD statements.
You can always use Automation package or write out a
REXX/Assembler/COBOl/etc program to expand wildcards to fully
expanded
datasets.
Groete / greetings
