CA SymDump System Reports › CICS Trace Dialog › Filter Entries

Filter Entries

Each filter entry consists of the following six values:

TASK

The task ID of the CICS task from which the entry originated.

TCB

The CICS TCB ID for the TCB from which the entry originated.

DM

The two-character ID of the domain which wrote the entry.

ID

The four-digit trace point identifier used to differentiate between the various trace entries that originate from the same CICS domain.

MOD

The CICS module from which the trace entry originated, excluding the leading DFH characters.

DATA

Any value from the data portion of the trace entry, including data that is not displaying in the currently selected view. In other words, you can use a data filter that matches data only displayed in the full format, even if your current view is abbreviated.

You can add as many filtering rows as can fit on your screen, but the display is not scrollable. To add or remove a row, use the following line commands in the command column at the far left side of the filter entries:

D

Deletes a row.

I

Inserts a new blank row.

R

Replicates a row.

You can specify a wild card value ("*") in any column to indicate that any value should match. A row of filtering values containing all wild cards will match every CICS trace entry. You cannot specify a prefix value by appending a wild card character to the end of a value, such as "D*". Wild card values can only be specified as "*" to indicate "match any".

A blank entry in any column will not match any values. Blanking out one column does not cause that column to be ignored, it causes the column to not match any trace entries. Therefore, when Columns "OR" is OFF, blanking out a column serves to disable the entire row.
