Abend the Task

When your program is stopped at a breakpoint, you can abend the task rather than resume execution.

1. Type abend in the Command line of the Breakpoint display, and press Enter.

   Note: This is the same as selecting option 3 Abend, from the Breakpoint Menu.

   CA InterTest for CICS displays the screen shown next.

   Because you do not need a dump, you do not need to enter an abend code.

2. Press Enter.

   CICS informs you the task has been abended.

3. Press Clear.
