Request Breakpoints

Request breakpoints are breakpoints that take effect prior to CICS commands and macros and other program calls, such as calls to DL/I or DB2. With one specification, you can set breakpoints at all CICS commands or at specific commands, such as all REWRITE commands.

Use request breakpoints to stop a program before the following commands:

• Every CICS command or macro
• Specific types of CICS commands, such as all File Control or Program Control commands
• Specific commands, such as all READ or WRITE commands
