Option 04: How to Detect a Storage Violation

This section of the test session details how CA InterTest for CICS detects and prevents a storage violation and lets you continue testing.

Important! To perform this section, you should have completed the steps outlined earlier in this chapter in Demo Preliminaries. The CA InterTest for CICS Demo Session Options Menu should be displayed.

1. Select option 04, and press Enter.

   The demo program displays a screen that describes what will occur in this part of the test session.

       ****                                                              ****      
       **********************************************************************      
                                                                                   
    The program attempts to move data from one field to another. However,         
    because the program has relinquished storage for the receiving field, a        
    storage violation would occur. Instead, here is what will happen:             
                                                                                   
    1. CA InterTest halts the program at an automatic breakpoint.               
    2. You inspect the FREEMAIN instruction which released the storage            
        for the field.                                                           
    3. You return to the breakpoint display. Then you go around the problem      
        by continuing program execution from the statement following the one       
        that triggered the breakpoint.                                           
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
    When this section of the demo completes, you will return to the Options Menu. 
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                 Press ENTER to continue or CLEAR to terminate
   

2. Press Enter.

   CA InterTest for CICS halts the demo program at an automatic breakpoint.
