Basic COBOL Batch Demo Session › Select the Source Program to Monitor

Select the Source Program to Monitor

Now you are ready to look at the programs and instruct CA InterTest to monitor a program. As part of monitoring a batch program, CA InterTest automatically prevents all abends during execution. How this works is shown later when CA InterTest prevents your program from abending because of an S0C7.

To select the source program to monitor

1. Verify that the program to be debugged has been compiled and post-processed into the PROTSYM files.
2. Click the InterTest Debug view so that it is the active view.
3. Click the project name (Basic Demo) on the CA InterTest Debug view.

   The project name is highlighted.

4. Click the Import PROTSYM Files button on the CA InterTest main window toolbar.

   The Import PROTSYM Files dialog opens.

   

5. Enter the following information:
   • InterTest Server

     Defines the CA InterTest server. Select Basic Demo.

   • PROTSYM Data Set

     Defines the fully-qualified data set name of the CA InterTest PROTSYM VSAM file.

     Type CAI.PROTSYM, or substitute CAI.PROTSYM with the DSN provided by your CA InterTest administrator.

     If you receive an error about failure to retrieve a member list, check with your CA InterTest administrator.

     Note: You may be prompted to log on to your mainframe TSO here, if you have not already done so through CA InterTest.

6. Click List Members.

   The table is filled with the programs in the data set you chose.

7. Scroll down through the table until you reach CAMRCOBB, the program you want to debug. Select the program by checking the box next to it.

   

   Note: The file list may not contain the name of the demo program indicated previously. This is because the CA InterTest administrator who installed CA InterTest changed the name of the sample programs available to you. Check with your CA InterTest administrator to find out the correct name.

8. If the Into folder box is empty, click the Browse button, and select the Basic Demo folder to import the program into.

   The name Basic Demo appears in the Into folder box.

9. Ensure that the two check boxes in the Options section are selected.
10. Click Finish.

    The demo program displays in the InterTest Debug view in the Monitored Programs folder.

    

11. Double-click the demo program name on the InterTest Debug view.

    The program listing displays in the Program Listing area, with an outline of the program in the Outline view.
