Debugging a CICS or Batch Application › Resume Program Execution

Resume Program Execution

Resume the program execution after evaluating and resolving an error that the program identified or after the program has stopped at a breakpoint.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Step Once button on the InterTest Debug view toolbar to continue testing by resuming program execution.

   Program execution stops at the next statement. The debug status in the InterTest Debug view indicates that the program is at a single-step breakpoint and that shows the value that you updated in resolving the previous abend.

   The following example shows the results of this step for the CICS COBOL demo.

   

2. Click the Resume Debugging button on the InterTest Debug view toolbar.

   The demo program halts at the unconditional breakpoint you set previously in this tutorial. The InterTest Debug view window updates to reflect the reason for the stop

3. Click the Resume Debugging button again.

   The program continues until no further abends, breakpoints, or bookmarks are encountered.

4. When the program completes, do one of the following actions to end the debugging session.
   • For batch applications, the demo program displays the Debugging dialog to indicate that the program is complete. Click OK to terminate the debugging session. The tutorial is finished.
   • For CICS applications, the mainframe CICS screen displays the END DEMO SESSION screen. Press Clear or Enter on the mainframe CICS screen to end the CICS debugging session and then complete the next two steps.
5. In the Eclipse UI, click the Cancel Debug Session button on the InterTest Debug view toolbar.

   The Cancel Debug Session dialog opens.

6. Click the Disconnect and Remove Breakpoints button, and then click Finish to terminate the connection with the server.

   The debugging status now shows Debugging Inactive in the InterTest Debug view.
