B-5
1. Define the desired strings using the
SET SERVER STRING
stringnumber string
com-
mand (the same command used to define
EOT
and
BOT
strings). For example:
SET SERVER STRING 15 “\01”
SET SERVER STRING 16 “This is a test\0D”
sets string 15 as
<CONTROL-A>
and string 16 as “This is a test”
<RETURN>
. The command
SHOW SERVER STRINGS
shows the string settings.
2. Enable filter 1 on the desired service with
the
SET SERVICE
servicename
FILTER 1
command. The command
SHOW SERVICE
displays which filters are enabled on the services,
and the
SHOW SERVICE FILTER
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 de-
leted 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>
.
