You can mask data that varies in test results from one
test run to the next using DTM filters. You can also
mask data during the recording of a test to produce a
filtered benchmark file.
DTM filters change specified data types (like time
stamps) to ASCII characters of a standard format. For
example, a OpenVMS time stamp of 13:20:23.0002 can be
changed to hh:mm:ss.xxxx.
The following table lists the available filters:
Keyword Filter
ALL Specifies that all the filters in this
table be used
DATE Where the date form is abbreviated, the
date filter replaces date stamps by
substituting a "d" for each displayed
number of the day of the month, an "m"
for each displayed letter of the month,
and a "y" for each displayed number of the
year. Where the date form is spelled out,
the month name is replaced by "month", the
numeric day is replaced by "day", and the
year is replaced by "year".
The following list shows some examples of
the date filtering functions; this list is
not all inclusive.
