    Can someone advise if the character $ has some meaning or restriction on it, as far as being used in a jobname?

     

    We have an scenario where an application has number of jobs defined like this:

     

       %(var_Prefix)_ANN_FP_PACER_GPACR$03

     

    When I perform the Find Job command in the Define Perspective, it returns "no jobs found". So, I then replaced the character string with this, thinking WLA didn't like the variable:

     

       *ANN_FP_PACER_GPACR$03

     

    Still "no jobs found".

     

    I succeeded eventually by submitting:

     

       *ANN_FP_PACER_GPACR?03

     

    Any thoughts would be helpful. Do not know if this was the same results back under R11.3. We are currently at R12.2.

    Hi Denise,

     

    Does *ANN_FP_PACER_* retrieve those jobs?

    $ is probably being treated as an identifier here for variable (03). Have you tried  *ANN_FP_PACER_GPACR\$03?

    (escape the wildcard $ with a backslash).

     

    Thanks,
