Import Observation provides a means
to import a previously exported observation to the active started
task. The entry fields include the Import dataset name, optional description
and option to delete the imported dataset. A dataset list button
is also available where a dataset name can be selected from datasets
that are listed based on a full or partial dataset name. When the OK button
is clicked, the observation is imported and the Observations List
refreshed with the new observation.
Note:
This action is only available if the z/OS connection
has been established and the remote repository is active.

Dataset List
The Dataset List dialog provides a means to retrieve a list of
datasets based on a dataset name pattern, where the results are displayed
and a single dataset may be selected. The dataset name may include
filter keys which are interpreted as follows:
- *
- A single asterisk by itself indicates that either is a qualifier
or one or more characters within a qualifier can occupy that position.
An asterisk can precede or follow a set of characters.
- **
- A double asterisk indicates that zero or more qualifiers can
occupy that position. A double asterisk cannot precede or follow any
characters; it must be preceded or followed by either a period or
a blank.
- %
- A single percent sign by itself indicates that exactly one alphanumeric
or national character can occupy that position.
- %%
- One to eight percent signs can be specified in each qualifier.
Note:
This action is only available if the z/OS connection
has been established and the remote repository is active.
