DMU.HLB  —  specify  wildcards
  With some commands in the Dictionary Management Utility, you can
  specify a path by using its proper path name or by including wildcard
  characters in the path name.

   o  The % replaces any single character in a given name.

   o  The * replaces any number of characters, and its use is legal
      even if there is no corresponding character to replace.  The *
      can also replace the version number of an object.  Used by
      itself, the * refers to all versions of an object.

   o  The > as the last character in a path name indicates that you
      want to include all the descendants of the specified dictionary
      directory or subdictionary.  If you end a path name with .>, the
      wild card indicates that only the descendants are to be
      processed.  If you end a path name with >, the wild card without
      the preceding period, DMU processes the last specified dictionary
      directory or subdictionary as well as all of its descendants.

   o  The @ prefixed to the given name of a dictionary directory or
      subdictionary signifies that the directory or subdictionary and
      all of its named descendants are to be processed.
