Command_Qualifiers
/BENCHMARK
/BENCHMARK=file-specification
Specifies the file to contain the expected output from the test's
execution. Digital Test Manager supplies a file name of the form
test-name.BMK. If your file specification includes a directory
specification, it overrides the default benchmark directory
for the library. Benchmark files may be located in the Digital Test
Manager library, in another directory, or in a CMS library.
/COMMAND
/COMMAND="DCL-command"
Specifies a command to be executed before the test is recorded or
executed. Use this qualifier to start applications for inclusion
in the test. This qualifier applies to DECwindows tests only.
/COMPARISON_TYPE
/COMPARISON_TYPE=keyword
Specifies how the result and benchmark files are to be compared. A
comparison type is not associated with the test description. The
valid values for keyword are as follows:
Keyword Meaning
CHARACTERS Compares files character by character.
RECORDS Compares files record by record. This is the
default for noninteractive terminal tests.
SCREENS Compares files screen by screen; screens not
marked are not compared. This is the default for
interactive terminal and DECwindows tests.
DECwindows tests can only use the SCREENS comparison type.
The SCREENS comparison type is also the default comparison
type for interactive terminal tests. If you specify the
/COMPARISON_TYPE=SCREENS qualifier for a noninteractive test,
this value is ignored.
/DECWINDOWS
Specifies that the test being created is marked as a DECwindows
test.
/EPILOGUE
/EPILOGUE=file-specification
Adds the specified epilogue file to the test description. The
test epilogue file is run immediately after the test template file
is executed. This epilogue file is unrelated to the collection
epilogue file.
You cannot store epilogue files in the Digital Test Manager library;
store them in another directory or in a CMS library.
/FILTER
/FILTER=(keyword,...)
Available for interactive and noninteractive terminal tests only,
the /FILTER qualifier selects one or more filters to remove
run-time data from the result file that the test run produces.
The valid values for keyword are as follows:
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.
17-OCT-1998 with dd-mmm-yyyy
17 OCT 98 with dd mmm yy
98.OCT.17 with yy.mmm.dd
10/17/98 with mm/dd/yy
1998/10/17 with yyyy/mm/dd
October 17, 1998 with month day, year
Oct. 17, 1998 with month day, year
17.October.1998 with day.month.year
98-October-17 with year-month-day
TIME Replaces time stamps with the following forms:
15:37:53.22 with hh:mm:ss.xxxx
15:37:53 with hh:mm:ss
15:37 with hh:mm
3:37 PM with hh:mm xm
15H37m with hhHmmm
15H37' with hhHmm'
15.37 h with hh.mm h
15 h 37"53 s with hh h mm"ss s
15 h 37 min with hh h mm min
kl 15.37 with kl hh.mm
h 15.37 with h hh.mm
FILE_NAMES Replaces the file names with FILENAME.EXT
DIRECTORIES Replaces the directory specification field in
the file specification with DISK:[DIRECTORY]
TRACE_BACK Replaces 32-bit memory addresses with xxxxxxxx and
64-bit memory addresses with xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx.
VERSION Replaces file versions with VERSION
If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
one keyword, omit the parentheses.
/INTERACTIVE
/INTERACTIVE
/NOINTERACTIVE (D)
Specifies whether the test being created is marked as an
interactive terminal test.
The /INTERACTIVE qualifier marks a test description as containing
an interactive terminal test. The /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier marks a
test description as containing a noninteractive test.
/LOG
/LOG (D)
/NOLOG
Controls whether Digital Test Manager displays informational and
success messages on your screen.
/PROLOGUE
/PROLOGUE=file-specification
Adds the specified prologue file to the test description.
The test prologue file is run immediately before the test
template file is executed. This prologue file is unrelated to
the collection prologue file.
You cannot store prologue files in the Digital Test Manager library;
store them in another directory or in a CMS library.
/TEMPLATE
/TEMPLATE=file-specification
Specifies the command file that runs a test, the file containing
an interactive terminal or DECwindows session. Digital Test Manager
supplies a template file name of the form test-name.COM for
noninteractive tests and test-name.SESSION for interactive and
DECwindows tests. If your file specification includes a directory
specification, Digital Test Manager ignores the default template
directory.
You cannot store template files that you create, except SESSION
files, in the Digital Test Manager library; store them in another
directory, or in a CMS library.
/VARIABLE
/VARIABLE=(variable-name[=variable-value],...)
Enables you to associate existing variables with the test
description you are creating. The variables you specify must
be defined in the Digital Test Manager library by using the CREATE
VARIABLE command. A variable associated with a test description
by this qualifier is local in scope.
The /VARIABLE qualifier also enables you to redefine values for
the variables you specify. If you specify an optional value, the
variable takes on that value only for this test description; the
value of the original variable is unaffected.
If you specify more than one variable name, separate the names
with commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify
only one variable name, omit the parentheses. You cannot use
wildcards.
