Setting up Filter Search Parameters
This command is included in the default EMS Analyzer custom file (EMSACSTM) and
is generally automatically invoked.
The EMS Analyzer default filter (EMSAFLTR) is installed on the same subvolume as
the EMS Analyzer program (refer to Section 2, Installation
). You might have to specify
the complete location (volume and subvolume) of the EMSAFLTR file, depending on
your current subvolume.
To specify your own filter, use the following command:
-> alter, filter custfltr
