1 /PREVIOUS
Causes the Collector to use the breakpoint table left by the previous collection run when it is appending test coverage data to an existing performance data file. If such a breakpoint table exists, the node specifications are ignored. Also causes the Collector to write a table of test coverage breakpoint locations not yet covered (or not yet covered n times if /UNTIL:n is specified) to the data file at the end of the current collection run. This qualifier causes test coverage to be measured only once (or only n times for /UNTIL:n) for an entire set of collection runs. If a program location has been found to be covered in one collection run, the Collector makes no attempt to measure coverage of that location in any subsequent collection run. Use of the /PREVIOUS qualifier makes data collection more efficient, but you lose the ability to determine what individual collection runs covered which program locations. If you use the /PREVIOUS qualifier, you should use the /APPEND qualifier on the SET DATAFILE command.
2 /UNTIL
/UNTIL:n Causes each test coverage breakpoint to be removed the nth time it is reached during program execution. By using the /UNTIL:n qualifier, you can determine whether a program location is executed at least n times. If you omit the /UNTIL:n qualifier, each breakpoint is removed the first time it is reached.
3 /STACK_PCS
Specifies that stack PC values are collected for coverage data. Further SET COVERAGE requests will assume a default of /STACK_ PCS.
4 /NOSTACK_PCS
Specifies that no stack PC values are collected for coverage data. This is the default upon entry into the collector.
5 /ANC
Saves codepath information in the performance data file for every module containing coverage-set points. This information is used by the Analyzer MERGE/ANC command to validate the ANC information being merged.
