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.
