Question
How do you use a DXL script to add additional filter conditions to an existing View in a IBM Rational DOORS Formal Module?
Answer
There may arise a need to have additional Filter conditions added onto an existing View in an IBM Rational DOORS Formal Module which has Filter conditions already defined in it.
You can achieve this by using an Advanced Filter (Detailed information on how you can use Advanced Filters is explained in the DOORS Help section: "Finding, filtering and sorting --> Using an advanced filter")
You can also use a DXL script to add additional Filter conditions using the following sample DXL script.

=====================================================================
string vname="Test_Execution_Status" // User must enter name of the View
Filter f,f1,f2
View v=view ("Test_Execution_Status")
load v
f=current
f1=attribute "Result" == "Pass"
f2=f && f1
int x,y
addFilter (current Module,f2,x,y)
print "Accepted - " x"" "\n"
print "Rejected - " y"" "\n"
save v
=====================================================================In this sample script "Test_Execution_Status" is the name of an existing View in DOORS which has a Filter already defined in it. A new Filter condition is specified for Objects whose attribute value is set to 'Pass' for an Attribute named "Result". A "AND" operation is then performed between the existing Filter and the new filter we defined in the script. Lastly the latest Filter condition is saved back to the View.
The sample script provided is just an example. You can modify or enhance the sample script to suit your requirements.
