Issue/Introduction

Can a wildcard character be specified in the JOBNAME parameter of a SET SLIP command?

Resolution

A wildcard character can be placed in the JOBNAME= / J= parameter of a slip trap.

For example, if all of your job names have the format xxx_xxxx, where the underscore represents a character that can be any character or number
you can add the following J= parm to your slip where the ? represents the wildcard:

J=xxx?xxxx

Additional Information

CAUTION: Wildcard usage in the JOBNAME may result in the dumping of multiple address spaces.
