Use QualifyStamp to reduce the current session to only those lines with stamps that match specified criteria. Other lines continue to be part of the session but assume an excluded state and hence are not normally visible. (See Exclusion Facility.)
QualifyStamp may also be entered as QualifySt[amp] or QualSt[amp].
Optional Operands
DATE specifies a date range (see Date Range). If a line contains a stamp with a date within the specified date range, the line will remain integrated (i.e., will not be excluded).
If DATE is specified as an asterisk (*), all lines containing stamps will remain integrated.
Default: *.
USER specifies the user ID a stamp must contain in order for a given line to remain integrated. Lines with stamps created by another user ID will be excluded.
If USER is specified as an asterisk (*), no lines will be excluded based on the stamp user ID.
Default: *.
QualifyStamp can be used only with sessions for which Stamping is active.
You can issue QualifyStamp against a session that has already been qualified.
QualifyStamp increments the exclude level before excluding any lines.
Return Codes
