Option E.4 Code Coverage observation extraction

With this option, you can create a file that contains the results from applying the selection file to the file that contains all observations created by a z/OS® Debugger Code Coverage session. When you select this panel in the following screen, you are prompted to provide the following files:

  • Input
    • The location of the file with the code coverage observations
    • The location of the file with the selection criteria
  • Output
    • The location of the file that contains the extracted code coverage observation output

The observation selection function extracts observations that meet the         
selection criteria from the observation data set. It writes the result         
to the observation output data set.
