Naming Convention Summary
Naming Convention Summary
Table 5-2 summarizes the reserved names for each object type and the naming 
convention rules.
Wild-Card Support
Normally, an SCF command line must include an object specifier composed of the 
object type and an object name. For many commands, the Parallel Library TCP/IP 
subsystem accepts object-name templates. In an object-name template, one object 
name can be used to indicate that multiple objects of a given object type are to be 
affected by the command.
Object-name templates allow you to specify multiple objects by entering either a single 
wild-card character, or text and one or more wild-card characters. In the Parallel 
Library TCP/IP subsystem, you can use the following wild-card characters:
