Created with a text editor, the optional test epilogue file contains the commands that enable you to control the environment in which DTM records and runs tests. A test epilogue file is associated with a specific test description; it is executed after the test template is recorded or executed and DTM$RESULT is defined, but before DTM-provided filters are applied to the test. Typically, you use the test epilogue file to modify the results file of record-dependent and run-dependent data or other clean up operations. Output from an execution of a test epilogue file appears in the test results and can affect test results.
