Filter command.  you can specify a filter program that will process the data before it is written to the file. This could be used,for example, to specify a zip program to compress the data. You can type in or browse for the filter program, and specify any

command line arguments it requires in the text box. This text box is enabled only if you have selected the Stage uses filter commands checkbox on the Stage page General tab (see page 8-1). Note that, if you specify a filter command, data browsing is not available so the View Data button is disabled.
