EVE SET_WILDCARD_VMS — VMS 5.1-B

 SET WILDCARD VMS

 Sets VMS-style wildcards for WILDCARD FIND.  (Default setting.)

 VMS-style wildcards include the percent sign (%) to match any single
 character on a line, the asterisk (*) to match any amount of text on a
 line, and the backslash and right angle bracket (\>) to match end-of-line.

 Example:

    The following commands find strings like "bat," "bet," or "but" only at
    the end of a line:

       SET WILDCARD VMS
       WILDCARD FIND b%t\>
