Request to update IBM explorer for zOS to support wildcard filters in middle like AAA*BB*C

During impact analysis, When we try to filter the jobs in Job usage inventory .
1. When we use the wildcard as CAU* , it is populating all the jobs where the job name starts with CAU.  please find the screenshot. <CAU_Wildcard.png>
2. When we try to use wildcard as CAU*D or CAU*M or CAU****M, it is not displaying any jobs , please find the screenshot. < CAU-D_wildcard.png & CAU----D_wildcard.png>
 

we have multiple jobs in different applications where the first 3 letters of jobs denotes application name and the Daily run jobs ends with *D and monthly run jobs ends with *M , if the point is working, we are able to filter Daily/Monthly run jobs separately by using filter CAU*D or CAU*M.

Thanks,

Maha

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
