How to Run the Demo Session

The CA InterTest basic demo session takes you through the following scenario:

1. Connecting to a server.
2. Checking the server status.
3. Creating a batch project.
4. Configuring the debug settings.
5. Selecting the program to debug.
6. Responding to the information provided when a program error is detected.

   CA InterTest intercepts and prevents an S0C7 abend. It halts the demo program at an ADD statement and displays a diagnostic message informing you that the problem was caused by improperly formatted data.

7. Examining the value of a data item.

   Examine the current value of TASKNUM, the receiving field in the ADD statement that you suspect may be the cause of the problem. You find that TASKNUM does not contain a valid packed decimal number.

8. Changing dynamically the value of a data item.

   Modify the value of TASKNUM to correct the error.

9. Setting a breakpoint to halt the program at another statement.

   This step is purely instructional; it has nothing to do with correcting the S0C7 abend.

10. Adding and removing a bookmark.
11. Resuming program execution.

    Resume program execution. CA InterTest halts the program at the breakpoint you set in the previous statement. You see that the value of TASKNUM changed when the ADD statement executed.

12. Cleaning up by removing the breakpoint you set.
13. Resuming program execution and the demo program runs to completion.
