Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

HI,

I am trying to do a specific IDCAMS LISTC. My catalog is as follows:

I need to enlist some of the dataset following some nameing convention. For this, if with the LISTC LVL(XX.**.WW) I get:
which is fine as the target datasets in the catalog are:
But from the above target set, I would also like to be able to pick up XX.Y2.C2.WW2.

If I try to specify LVL(XX.**.WW*), IDCAMS does not accept it and gives an error:
Is it possible to accomplish this with IDCAMS? When I looked around in the manuals, it says:

ENTRIES(entryname[ entryname...]) |

LEVEL(level) specifies that all entries that match the level of qualification specified by (level) are to be listed irrespective of the number of additional qualifiers. If a generic level name is specified, only one qualifier replaces the *. The * must not be the last character specified in the LEVEL parameter. LEVEL(A.*) will give you an error message.

If so, can anyone point me to do complete this?

Then add another listcat statement to pick up the different final qualifier.

I executed two different step of IDCAMS with different qualifiers, not sure if it the best way to do it.

Why two steps? You can do multiple commands in one IDCAMS step.

Thanks I did not know that. Thanks for the suggestion.
