Chapter 3. Configuring Filters and the FILTERS File

3.1 How to Edit the FILTERS File
You can edit the FILTERS file using the XYGATE Configuration Manager GUI or on
the host using the XMA_EDIT_FILTERS macro. Refer to Appendix E12: on page 215
for the complete instructions on using the XMA_EDIT_FILTERS macro.
Editing the FILTERS File Using the XYGATE Configuration Manager
Click the XCF icon on your desktop. Five iterations of the FILTERS file will be retained
in the XYGATEMA subvolume. The naming convention for these files is OLDFLTnn,
where nn is an incrementing number.
Refer to the XYGATE Configuration and Audit Reporting manual for complete
information on using the Configuration Manager. (To get this and other XYPRO
documents, refer to the section “Additional XYPRO Reference Manuals” in the
“Introduction” of this manual.)
Editing the FILTERS File on the NonStop Host
Always use the XMA_EDIT_FILTERS macro to make changes to the FILTERS file.
This macro makes a copy of the production file. Make your changes in the copy. When
you exit from EDIT, the new file will be syntax checked and, if no errors are found, you
will be prompted to move the temporary file into production. As part of the process of
moving the file into production, the FILTERS file will be compiled and MACONFB will
be created. Twenty iterations of the file will be retained in the XYGATEMA subvolume.
The naming convention for these files is OLDFLTnn, where nn is an incrementing
two-digit number.
The XMA_EDIT_FILTERS macro puts you into EDIT, you can go into XVS by typing
XVS <line number>, or into TEDIT by typing T at the EDIT prompt (*).
