Keep Variables in the Keep Window

The Keep window lets you display the values of an unlimited number of variables directly on the source listing. If more than six variables are selected for the Keep window, PF keys 19 and 20 are available to scroll forward and backward through the Keep window. Keeping variables in the window lets you observe changes in their values as the program executes. You also can change values by overtyping the displayed bytes.

When the Keep window is active, the options and PF key functions are not displayed. Press PF4 if you need to refer to them. When all the variables in the Keep window are removed, the options and PF key functions are redisplayed. A command line is available to help you perform CA InterTest for CICS functions when the Keep window is active.
