Object Specification An object specification gives information DSNM uses to identify objects against which
a command is to be issued. If there is more than one object specification, each must be
separated from the other by a comma.
An object specification must include the name of one or more objects. It can also
include optional qualifiers, which help identify the objects you are specifying; and a
hierarchy modifier, which determines—based on the subsystem object hierarchy—the
objects to be included. Section 3, “Object Specifications,” gives a detailed discussion
on specifying object names and when to use qualifiers.
