Using Wild-Card Characters
Wild-card characters allow several objects of the same object type to be indicated in a
command. The asterisk wild-card character (*) designates zero or more characters. For
example, an INFO command issued against the adapter object type with * indicated as
the object name returns information on all adapter objects. If the name used is S*,
information is returned for all adapter objects whose names begin with S.
The question mark wild-card character (?) designates a single character. For example,
an INFO command issued against the adapter object type with S0? indicates that the
object name (that returns the information of the adapter) consists of three characters
and starts with S0, such as S01, S0R, S08, and so on.
ABORT Command
The ABORT command terminates the operation of the specified object as quickly as
possible. ABORT is a sensitive command. Only enough processing is done to ensure
that the object can run again when it is restarted. The ABORT command differs from
the STOP command in that it is a preemptive command that ignores current use of the
object by making the object and its subordinates nonoperational.
If the ABORT command is applied to an object with subordinate objects, the
subordinate objects are also forced into a STOPPED state. No attempt is made to
inform the command issuer that the subordinate objects are active. Subordinate
objects are aborted before the parent object.
