Option 01: Replace a File Control ID

This section of the demo session shows how to replace a File Control ID. Program ASMDEMO is attempting to read and display a record, but the file name specified in the program is incorrect.

Note: Before you begin this section, complete the steps outlined in the Start‑Up section (unless you did so earlier). The Options Menu should be displayed.

  1. Select Option 01 to request Replace File Control ID and press Enter.

    ASMDEMO displays a screen that describes what occurs in this part of the demo.

    ********************************************************************** **** **** **** CA InterTest Demo Session **** **** Replace File Control ID Option **** **** **** ********************************************************************** The program attempts to read file PROTH. Because the file name has been incorrectly specified, this would cause a DSIDERR condition which would result in an AEIL abend. Instead, here is what will happen: 1. CA InterTest halts the program at an automatic breakpoint. 2. You set the Replace File Control option to change the file name without recompiling. 3. You re‑execute the program from the point at which it first tried to read the file. When this section of the demo completes, you will return to the Options Menu. Press ENTER to continue or CLEAR to terminate

  2. Press Enter.

    ASMDEMO halts at an automatic breakpoint.
