3521.0. "wildcarding and MSL" by SKIGOD::PFROMER (Ed Pfromer, ESM Engineering) Sun Aug 09 1992 00:08

My group is in the process of writing MOMs for media libraries and media 
robots.  I currently have two questions:

1.  Is there a magic MSL keyword for specifying wildcarded entity specifications
    for anything but the SHOW directive?  I've been trying to figure out how
    to ship a wildcard with an invoke_action directive, and another coworker
    in my group is trying to figure out how to get wildcarded SETs to the 
    MOM.

2.  Is there a general MSL cookbook?  

thanks for the help...

	In reply to #2 Please reference the Toolkit Reference Manual on the MSL syntax. The SRM chapter 9 for MSL user defined datatypes, and the how to write an MM ref. (I do not remember the actual name).

	maybe I missed something, but I thought MCC didn't support sending out wildcards. There's no reason to specify wildcards in MSL.
