Using a Qualified File-Set List

A file-set list is one or more file sets. To include more than one file set in a file-set list,

Using a Qualified File-Set List
You can use a qualified file-set list to specify criteria for including or excluding files or
SQL objects in a file set. A qualified file-set list is a file-set list that includes one of the
qualifiers from the following table. (A simple file-set list does not include a qualifier.)
You can specify a qualifier only once for each file-set list.
For a detailed description of file-set qualifiers, see the Guardian Disk and Tape Utilities
Reference Manual.
*.CASH Files named CASH in every subvolume on the current default
volume.
MAIL.MESS* Files that have names beginning with MESS on the MAIL
subvolume of the current default volume.
VOL*.?FILE Files that have names five characters long ending with FILE, that
reside on any subvolume that has a name beginning with VOL.
