Wild-Card Option
node
is the name of a node in an Expand network. If you omit node, FUP uses the
current default node: either the node that was in effect when you started FUP or
the node you specified during the last FUP SYSTEM or VOLUME command.
volume
is the name of a volume (disk drive). If you omit volume, FUP uses the current
default volume: either the volume that was in effect when you started FUP or the
volume you specified during the last FUP VOLUME (or SYSTEM) command. If you
specify volume, you must also specify subvolume.
subvolume
is the name of the subvolume. It consists of alphanumeric characters, wild-card
characters (* or ?*), or a combination of both. If you omit subvolume, FUP uses
the current default subvolume: either the subvolume that was in effect when you
started FUP or the subvolume you specified during the last FUP VOLUME (or
SYSTEM) command.
For compatibility with previous versions of FUP, the subvolume name can be the
default in most commands. If the subvolume is omitted, FUP uses the current
default subvolume and issues a warning that this option might be deleted in future
versions of FUP.
file-id
is the name of an Enscribe or SQL disk file. It consists of alphanumeric characters,
wild-card characters (* or ?), or a combination of both. Table 1-2 on page 1-25
shows the interaction between FUP commands and SQL files.
qualified-expr
specifies additional restrictions to a file set. It extends the power of the wild-card
option in file names by specifying attributes of the file. A file set with
qualified-expr is called a qualified file set. For more information, see Qualified
File Sets on page 1-11.
Wild-Card Option
You can use asterisks (*) or question marks (?) as wild-card characters to help specify
files. The asterisk can represent from zero through eight unspecified characters in the
position you place it. The question mark represents only one character in the position
you place it.
Wild-Card Guidelines

The only FUP commands that allow you to use wild-card characters to specify a
volume name are VOLS, SUBVOLS, INFO, FILENAMES, and FILES.
