Indirect Commands

The CA InterTest Indirect Commands facility lets you specify a set of indirect commands to be executed in one of two ways:

Automatically, when a breakpoint pointing to that set of commands is reached
On demand, when you are at a breakpoint and use the Breakpoint Primary Option menu to resume execution with an indirect command (the fastpath is =4.5 from any breakpoint)

By using indirect commands, you can dynamically modify or correct programs without having to leave your test session to recompile your program.

With the indirect commands facility, you can do the following actions:

Change the flow of control in your program
Test conditions based on specified variables
Change the value of specified variables
Create and execute commands as a group, like adding a new subroutine
Automatically resume execution of your program at the same or different location
Define abbreviations for variables with long names
