Limit CICS Requests

The next screen you see is an automatic breakpoint display screen. CA InterTest for CICS has halted the demo program at an automatic breakpoint because the maximum number of CICS requests (20) has been exceeded.

Note: If you are working on a system with LE 370 runtimes, you might reach the automatic breakpoint for the MXS (max storage size) first. If you do, simply perform the demo in the following order:

  1. Remove the MXS options by typing STATUS, in the command line then 'R' next to the MXS option, and hit enter. Resume execution.
  2. After stopping for the MXR trigger value, remove it the same as the MXS and continue.
  3. The demo will execute to completion.

    The instruction that triggered the automatic breakpoint is within a loop containing a CICS request.
