Display or Modify Auxiliary Storage (FILE)

Use the CA InterTest for CICS FILE facility even when no program is executing to display and modify auxiliary storage. Access this facility from the ITST Primary Option Menu, Option 4 Auxiliary Storage. The Auxiliary Storage Menu, shown next, appears.

As the Auxiliary Storage Menu shows, this facility enables you to examine or modify files, DB2 and SQL/DS databases, DL/I databases, and CICS temporary storage and transient data records.

Note: If you type FILE on the command line of a breakpoint display, you bypass this menu and go to the initial file facility display. To access the Auxiliary Storage menu from a Breakpoint, type ITST on the command line; then select option 4 from the Primary Option Menu.
