Eliminating session initialization failure data

You can request that certain session initiation failure data not be sent to application programs collecting SAW data. By coding a SAW sense filter, you enable the SAW data to be filtered by sense code. Use the SNSCODE definition statement to specify either two or four bytes of the sense data code to be filtered. The following is a sample SAW sense filter:

SNSTBL1   VBUILD   TYPE=SNSFILTR
SENSE0    SNSCODE  SENSE=0857
SENSE1    SNSCODE  SENSE=087D0001
SENSE2    SNSCODE  SENSE=087D0002
SENSE3    SNSCODE  SENSE=087D0003
SENSE4    SNSCODE  SENSE=087D0004
SENSE5    SNSCODE  SENSE=8013

Based on this example, VTAM® will not send:

All sense data beginning with X'0857'
The following sense data:
- X'087D0001'
- X'087D0002'
- X'087D0003'
- X'087D0004'
All other sense data beginning with X'087D' will be sent.
All sense data beginning with X'8013'

Store the SAW sense filter in the VTAM definition library. Use the VARY ACT command to activate the SAW sense filter or to replace the current table. Only one SAW sense filter can be active in each VTAM host at the same time.
