Checklist of Basic Debugging Tasks

Following is a list of debugging tasks:

• Display the source listing
• Set monitoring for the program
• Set breakpoints
• Set other monitoring options as needed
• Initiate the program
• End the test session

When the program is stopped at a breakpoint, you can perform the following tasks:

• Inspect and modify main storage
• Inspect and modify auxiliary storage
• Set and remove breakpoints
• Keep variables in the Keep window to observe changes in their values
• Resume execution
• Abend the task

Note: Before you read this chapter, you should have performed the demo session described in the second chapter. The demo session provides a basic introduction to CA InterTest for CICS and illustrates many of the functions discussed here.
