   CA InterTest for CICS displays the Monitoring Status screen. This status shows the monitoring entry for the current program only.

   This display gives you an up‑to‑date summary of how CA InterTest for CICS is monitoring your program, in an expandable/collapsible tree format. You can scroll the list, collapse or expand it using the indicated PF keys at the bottom of the display.

   Each entry in the monitoring status display for PLIDEMO indicates the following information:

   • The top entry tells you CA InterTest for CICS is monitoring the PL/I program PLIDEMO.
   • The second entry (.ANY) indicates CA InterTest for CICS monitors PLIDEMO when any user executes it. If your status display shows your CICS User ID instead of .ANY, that is fine, because it indicates monitoring and options taking effect whenever your ID is executing the program, but not when anyone else executes the program. In effect, when the user monitoring option is set to a specific CICS User ID, CA InterTest for CICS creates a personal debugging session for that user.

     Important! For details on using and switching the User ID Monitoring Option, see the User Guide.

   • The last entry shows that the SLB option for Source Listing breakpoints is on. SLB means CA InterTest for CICS uses the Source Listing version of the breakpoint display throughout your test session, instead of the detailed version. The SLB version is the one used throughout this guide and is recommended for all users.

   Note: If the Status display does not appear, you have not set monitoring correctly; the Program Monitoring menu displays a message that no entries (for PLIDEMO) were found. In this case, press PF3 to return to the Source Listing display, and then press PF5 to set monitoring. Use PF12 to check the status again before continuing.

2. Once you verify that the correct demo program is being monitored, press PF3 to go back to the Source Listing.

   Now exit to CICS using the fastpath entry (=X), as follows:

3. Type =x in the Source Listing Command field and press Enter. This returns you to ITST menu processing.
4. From the Source Selection Menu, type =x in the Command field and press Enter to exit to CICS.
