/MASK=(keyword,...)
The /MASK qualifier selects one or more sets of mask patterns that
will cause certain run-time data to be ignored during the comparison
of screens for interactive terminal tests. Such run-time data is
ignored by substituting blank space for patterns in both the
benchmark and result screens before they are compared.
The valid values for keyword are as follows:
Keyword Mask
ALL Specifies that all the masks in this table be used

patterns to be ignored; this list is not all
