zUnit RFE RBC: exclude fields (timestamp or others) at file compare

More details in the Case# TS002708463

Issues related to timestamp:
- zUnit case always yield failed case when providing expected output files with timestamp content (file compare yield difference) – i.e. we have specific line or column where there is a timestamp generated.

    This RFE is a duplicate of another RFE. See customer RFE ID 134549 for current status. Please provide your vote on that RFE.

    RBC developer (Revner Diaz) also provided more details related to the zUnit and timestamp issue:

    Issues related to timestamp:
    - zUnit case always yield failed case when providing expected output files with timestamp content (file compare yield difference) – i.e. we have specific line or column where there is a timestamp generated.
    - zUnit current file compare option does not work – e.g. I used “DPLINE '0',1” file compare options to bypass the row with ‘0' at column 1 during comparison.
    - zUnit has currently a file compare options but it applies to ALL output files – i.e. if I have more than one output file with different exclusion of rows/columns this will not work

    According the IBM Support Olivier Gauneau and the Case # TS002708463. All those issues are related.
