Specifying FILTER control statements

You can use the FILTER control statement (or the FIL abbreviation) to include and exclude LUOWs from consideration by Log Analyzer, according to the criteria that you specify.

If you omit the FILTER statement, Log Analyzer considers all LUOWs from all input sources of log records (except for records that are not processed because of SKIP, LIMIT, START, or STOP keyword values on the ANALYZE control statement).

You can specify only one FILTER statement in each command set. The FILTER statement must follow the ANALYZE statement and precede the END control statement, but you can specify it in any position relative to other control statements.

Warning

Note

If you request a specialty report by specifying the DEADLOCK keyword or the APPCHECK keyword on the REPORTS control statement, you cannot specify the FILTER control statement. Log Analyzer produces specialty reports by using filtering techniques that are different from the techniques for other reports.
