CTSEPM Advanced Pattern Masking Subroutine

The CTSEPM subroutine provides advanced pattern masking support. You can call CTSEPM from your CA EARL program. CTSEPM uses the CTSPM module to provide the following functions:

• MATCH
• COMPARE
• VALIDATE
• CONVERT
• CONVERTX

CTSEPM passes the return code issued by CTSPM to CA EARL for verification. CA Earl places the return code in a field equal to the subroutine's name, CTSEPM. In non-zero return code situations, CTSEPM can return an optional error message.
