IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Programming: Pipes - IBM notice

Pipeline Stages and Syntax
Examples
Example: Changing the Separation Character with STAGESEP
To change the stage separation character from the default value of a vertical bar (|)
to a period (.), run a NetView LIST command, and display the resulting messages,
enter:
PIPE (STAGESEP .) NETVIEW LIST STATUS=TASKS
. CONSOLE
Example: Changing the Separation Character and Setting an
Escape Character
To change the stage separation character from the default value of a vertical bar (|)
to a period (.), use double quotation marks (") as an escape character, run a
NetView LIST command, discard messages containing the phrase NOT ACTIVE in
positions 55 through 64, and display the resulting messages, enter:
PIPE (STAGESEP . ESC ") NETVIEW LIST STATUS=TASKS
. NLOCATE 55".10 /NOT ACTIVE/
. CONSOLE
In this example, the escape character is used, so that the period separating the
NLOCATE search parameters is not read as a stage separator.
PIPE Stages: Table 2 contains an alphabetic summary of the stages in the PIPE
command and shows the minimum synonym allowed for each stage in a pipeline
specification.
The NetView sample CNMS1101 contains many of the examples shown in the
stage descriptions.
Table 2. Stages of the PIPE Command
Stage Name Task Performed Synonym Page
APPEND Defines a pipeline that runs after other stages are complete. APPEND 27
BETWEEN Divides message streams into sections. BETWEEN 29
CASEI Compares character strings without respect to case. CAS 31
CHANGE Replaces occurrences of one string with another. CHAN 33
CHOP Truncates lines after a specified character, column, or string. CHOP 37
COLLECT Creates a multiline message, or messages, from input lines. COL 39
CONSOLE Displays the contents of the pipeline. CON 44
COREVENT Extracts information from messages for state correlation. COREVENT 47
COREVTDA Takes messages with event data, creates new MWLTO
messages from the input stage, and places them on the
secondary output stream.
COREVTDA 49
CORRCMD Runs commands and adds timer and termination stages. CC 50
CORRWAIT Allows asynchronous messages into the pipeline. CORR, WAIT 54
COUNT Counts the number of messages, lines, or bytes in the input
stream.
COUNT 59
CPDOMAIN Converts control point (CP) names to NetView domain
names.
CPD 63
DELDUPES Deletes duplicate messages. DELDUP 68
DIVERT Routes primary input to primary or secondary output. DIVERT 71
