We've discussed the most appropriate way to fix this, and have determined that allowing the escaping of special characters with a backslash is the right approach. This will work in the code as it is today, but a documentation update will follow later this year.
THank you, we'll look at fixing this defect as soon as possible.
This is not a wild card issue it is an example of the type of filter I wish to use for VOLSER field. I wish to filter in our out all VOLSER with $$* which will show m e all VOLSER's that start with $$. But since $ and # are special characters that are not recognized by the tool it will not allow this filter to work.
if you wish to test this on your system, simply make a few volumes with ## or $$ at the beginning and try searching filtering on those in the groups/application filter. you will be able to filter in the volumes section but NOT the groups application setup.
Information about what wild cards can be used can be found in the IBM Storage Insights Knowledge Center here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSQRB8/com.ibm.spectrum.si.doc/tpch_saas_r_app_filters.html
