CTSEPM Advanced Pattern Masking Subroutine

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

• MATCH
• COMPARE
• VALIDATE
• CONVERT
• CONVERTX

CTSPM issues a return code that CTSEPM passes to CA EARL for verification. CA Earl places the return code in a field equal to the subroutine name, CTSEPM. In nonzero return code situations, CTSEPM can return an optional error message.
