Operands
The following operands are used in creating a Boolean
expression. For further information on these operands, see Using the template.
- VIT options or entries
- VIT entries with names identical to option names must be prefaced with an E and enclosed in single quotation marks (for example, E'MSG'). This distinguishes the name as an entry rather than an option. A VIT option or unique entry name requires no preface.
- Address
- Preface an address with an A and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, A'xxxxxxxx', where xxxxxxxx is the hex address).
- Address offset
- Specify the offset for an address after the address string, and
separate the address string and the offset with a colon (for example,
A'xxxxxxxx':nn, where xxxxxxxx is the hex address and nn is the offset).
Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
- Character string
- Preface a character string with a C and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, C"ccccc...", where ccccc... represents the character string). Data is case-sensitive.
- Character string offset
- Specify the offset for a character string after the character
string, and separate the character string and the offset with a colon
(for example, C"ccccc...":nn, where ccccc... is the character
string and nn is the offset). Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
- Hexadecimal string
- Preface a hex string with an X and enclose it in single quotation marks (for example, X'xxxxx...', where xxxxx... represents the hex string).
- Hex string offset
- Specify the offset for a hex string after the hex string, and
separate the hex string and the offset with a colon (for example, X'xxxxx...':nn,
where xxxxx... is the hex string and nn is the offset). Note: Only decimal offsets are allowed.
- CSM buffer token
- Enter 1–12 bytes of hexadecimal digits representing a CSM
buffer token. If fewer than 12 bytes are supplied, the buffer token
is padded on the left with zeros. In a CSM VIT record, there may be
one or two buffer tokens. The following CSM VIT records have one or
two buffer tokens:
- VIT Record
- Number of tokens
- ASN2
- 2
- CHG2
- 2
- CPY3
- 1
- CPY4
- 1
- FIX2
- 2
- FRB2
- 2
- GTB3
- 1
- PAG2
- 2
- XBA2
- 1
- XBI2
- 1
If the buffer token matches a token in a VIT entry, the VIT entry and its related entries are extracted. For example, if a GTB3 entry is matched, the corresponding GTBF, GTB2, and other GTB3 entries are also extracted.
Note: When extracting VIT entries using the CSM buffer token, bit 0 in the token is masked. Therefore, the token fields in the extracted VIT entries may not exactly match the input token. - Origin
- To extract PIU entries originating at a designated network address,
enter 1–12 hex characters (representing the 6-byte network address)
in the form O'xx…'. Note: The address is right-aligned and padded with zeros on the left. For example, O'3001A' means subarea 3 element 1A.
- Destination
- To extract PIU entries destined for a particular network address,
enter 1–12 hex characters (representing the 6-byte network address)
in the form D'xx…'. Note: The address is right-aligned and padded with zeros on the left. For example, D'4E' means subarea 0 element 4E.
- All
- Specify ALL to extract all VIT entries. ALL is not valid with
any other operand or operator. Note: You may also extract all VIT entries without entering the ALL operand. For example, 'gblk | ¬ gblk' will extract all VIT entries.
