SHOW SERVICE FILTER

SERVICE servicename FILTER 1

2. Enable filter 1 on the desired service with the SET command. The

command SHOW SERVICE displays which filters are enabled on the services, and the

displays the filter settings.

3.Define the service with the desired match string and replacement string with the following commands:

SET SERVICE servicename FMS matchnumber

SET SERVICE servicename FRS replacenumber

where matchnumber and replacenumber are the numbers of the strings defined in step 1. Note that if the match string is set to 00, the default match string <LINEFEED> and replacement string <CARRIAGE RETURN><LINEFEED> will be used. If the replacement string is set to 00 (and the match string is not zero), then the replacement is NULL, and any matches are just deleted from the input stream.

4. As an example of the use of filter 1, in certain types of IBM CICS print jobs, pages end with a <CONTROL-A>. By using filter 1, you can substitute each occurrence of <CONTROL-A> with <FORMFEED>. This would be implemented as follows on a service called “CICS”:

SET SERVER STRING 12 “\01”

SET SERVICE CICS FILTER 1

SET SERVICE CICS FMS 12

SET SERVICE CICS FRS 11

When jobs are printed to the CICS service, all occurrences of <CONTROL-A>will be replaced with <FORMFEED>. Note that filter 11 is predefined as <FORMFEED>.
