Considerations for the FILTER Command
The considerations contain information about command use that should be read before
studying the command syntax in too much detail.
•
The default filter values should provide all the information you will need to debug
your program.
•
You must select a trace file with the PTrace FROM command before setting filter
options.
•
You cannot filter on events not included in the trace file options. For example, if the
SCF TRACE command only selected L5 events, it would not make sense to set L6
filter-options as no L6 information would be present in the file.
•
You cannot filter on events not included in the SELECT options. For example, you
must specify the SELECT option L6 (or ALL), to be able to select any of the L6
filter-options.
Examples of the FILTER Command
The examples are designed to show correct ways of specifying command syntax.
HEX Command
The HEX command controls the hexadecimal display option. When HEX is enabled,
PTrace displays a hexadecimal dump of trace file records (excluding the record header),
with character equivalents printed to the right of the dump.
ON
enables hexadecimal display mode.
OFF
disables hexadecimal display mode.
Filter Action
FILTER SU [ su-name ] is used to set the subdevice (SU). su-name is any valid ACSE,
L6, L5, or L4 subdevice name.
FILTER ALL is used to turn on all filters.
FILTER RESET resets the filters to the default settings.
FILTER ? displays the current filter settings.
FILTER HELP displays the FILTER command HELP text.
