filter (error data)
For error detection runs, a set of instructions used to hide messages in an analysis dataset from the data analysis views. Filters are based on message type and source. By default, all messages that match a filter are hidden.
When you filter out a message, the error is still checked for, but the message isn't displayed in the Error View.
Error data filters are saved in a Modulename_exe.pft file. For a list of file names and locations, see the reference topic Files and file locations.
