COBOL Basic Demo Session › Set Monitoring

Set Monitoring

The next step is to instruct CA InterTest to monitor COBDEMO. As part of monitoring a CICS command‑level program such as COBDEMO, CA InterTest automatically prevents all CICS abends during execution. How this works is shown later on when CA InterTest prevents COBDEMO from abending because of an ASRA.

There are a number of different ways of telling CA InterTest to monitor the program. If you are currently viewing a program's source listing, you can type one of the following:

1. Type monitor on the Command line and press Enter.
   or
2. Press PF5 (notice PF5 is listed as Monitor in the previous screen).
3. Press PF5 or use the monitor command to begin monitoring the demo program. You can do this from either the Source Listing Profile or Source Listing Display.

   The screen momentarily flashes as the request is processed. The Source Listing Display screen then reappears.
