IBM Explorer for z/OS

In IBM Explorer for z/OS, only one filter value can be specified per predicate context under the filtering tab. For flexibility, may I request if you could update the function to enable users to enter multiple filter values for transaction ID, current program or any other predicates under Context.

    CICS Event Processing already provides a way to have multiple capture specifications for an Event. Once you have set up the first capture specification, make a copy of it within the same Event Specification and then edit the different context filtering predicates (or anything else within the Capture Specification).

    Note that you may able to use filter operators such as `starts with` if you want to filter Transaction IDs, Current Program Names or User IDs that begin with the same characters. This might help you define the filtering using one Capture Specification. There are other operators in the drop down box for the filter operator.
