Menus and Displays

This chapter explains how to use the ISPF‑like menus and selection lists to get around CA InterTest for CICS before, during, and after your test sessions. The menus:

Are always available
Use a standard set of PF keys
Support a subset of ISPF commands, including the fast-path Jump (=x.y.z) command for quick navigation
Simplify navigation among the Source Listing, Monitoring (CNTL), Main Storage (CORE), Auxiliary Storage (FILE), and CA SymDump for CICS (SYMD) displays

This chapter also explains how to use the Monitoring Status display, an expandable tree‑like display of current monitoring entries. You will find the Status display saves testing time, since you can quickly remove any monitoring, breakpoint, or monitoring option directly from it.

Note: This chapter assumes you understand the concepts of CA InterTest for CICS monitoring and breakpoints.
