The use of wildcards is a powerful tool to change multiple jobs with a single command. Wildcards can be particularly useful when changing properties such as User name, owner or log path for all jobs in a database. This example changes the user name for all jobs in the database:
Windows Format:
modify /process=user:smithre \*\*\*,\*\*
UNIX/Linux Format:
chjob -process=user:smithre /*/*/*,/*/*
OpenVMS Format:
modify /process=user:smithre [*.*]*,[*]*
will change the user name for all jobs in the current database.
