DYNCAT Commands

Two asterisks may be substituted for any or all of the data fields. When CA
Dynam/T encounters the asterisks, it will replace them with that field from the
job date (temporary COMREG date for VSE user). For example: **/31/**
would be changed to 05/31/00 for each version of the dataset created in May
of 2000.
No validation is done on the eight bytes specified for period ending date. Dates
are normally used, but this field may also be used to store eight bytes of user
information about the version, if desired. If a period ending date field contains
nonblank characters, or a date different from the creation date, the contents
of the field will be printed on applicable reports.
When used for a dataset with PEDCYC=0, the PED field becomes simply a user
comment field associated with each version.
