Notes

---

      Notes: The normal wildcard character that matches
        anything is *. Using this character implies that
        no sort will be done. Using $ in place of * means
        sort on that field. Using # in place of * means
        first convert that field to a number, then sort on it.
        The wild card characters $ and # may not both be used
        together, but * may be used with either, but may not
        be adjacent. Must use the correct case (upper for VMS)
        The wildcard processing ability is limited.
