Tom, I "think" (I wrote the requirement), I was the one that requested SMPE to create the forfmid at SHARE way long time ago. I was having issues with stringing out the ptfs, mine got to 3 continuation "cards" . It was for an obscure product that I dearly loved. Ed On Aug 15, 2015, at 5:

Thanks Lizette. The double * must be new (within the last 25 years :-) ). Back in the day only a single * could be used to replace a single qualifier. It was great for GDSs (ie. HLQ.GDGBASE.*). Dan D -Original Message- From: Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, August 14, 2015 7:27 PM Newsgr
