Filtering SDSF messages wrt to a task

I would like to a command that would help to filter any messages that are written by a task. Instead doing an FIND command that would look for the string .. I'm looking for a filter command that would pull all the lines wrt to a task.

    As previously described, the FIL JOBID STCxxxxx command provides the requested function.

    fil jobid stcxxxxx (or any jobid pattern) on the syslog display. This should do approximately what you want. The underlying MDB where we get the information doesn't provide the STC number so we have nothing to filter on other than the string in the message. The issue here is when a command is issued for an STC that text field will contain the console ID rather than the STC number so you won't get that data in the filter... also you need to look at how the multi-line messages are displayed/formatted with this approach. Try it out... if this isn't what you can live with then write up a new IDEA with more specifics.
