Example

The following sample screen shows how to set a conditional breakpoint in a COBOL program.

           CA InterTest MONITORING COMMAND BUILDER  CONDITIONAL BREAKPOINT   
                 í                                                             
   Enter LEFT SIDE                                                       
       Data Name tolen ________________________________________________________
                                                                              
                                               í
   Enter OPERATOR (EQ, NE, GT, LT, GE, LE):  lt                               
                                                                              
   Enter RIGHT SIDE                                                           
       Data Name ______________________________________________________________
          OR    í                                                 
       Literal 80______________________________________________________________
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                             
                                                                             
         Press PF9 to go to complex conditional screen if necessary            
                                                                     

• The left side of the comparison specifies the data name TOLEN.
• The relational operator is LT (less than).
• The right side of the comparison specifies the literal 80.

This breakpoint takes effect only if the value in the data name TOLEN is less than 80. The breakpoint locations are all the instructions, as previously specified on the Conditional Locations screen.

Remove Conditional Breakpoints

When you specify that you want to remove conditional breakpoints, the following Remove Conditional Locations screen opens.

The easiest way to remove a conditional breakpoint is from the Monitoring Status display, as discussed in the chapter "Menus and Displays." To remove all conditional breakpoints from a program, enter .ALL in field Œof this screen, and press Enter.
