Using Wildcard Characters

You can use wildcard characters to expand the search or if you are not sure of the spelling of the search term. Several types of wildcards exist. JD Edwards Translation Tools use an asterisk (*).

An asterisk substitutes a string of characters of any length at the beginning of the string, the end of the string, or both. Asterisks specify 0 (zero) or more alphanumeric characters. You can use wildcards to obtain special results. This table illustrates wildcard use in the Search and Replace tool (where string equals any alphanumeric string).
