Turn on Monitoring

To test a program, you must instruct CA InterTest for CICS to monitor it. When CA InterTest for CICS monitors a program, it detects and prevents errors before they occur, including the following violations:

• All storage violations
• All CICS abends
• Any statement that would cause a program check or other abend
• All illegal or invalid instructions that would cause CICS to crash
• All wild branches
• All violations of CICS standards

The easiest way to turn on monitoring is from the program's source listing. Perform the following steps:

1. Display the source listing as described in Display Your Source Listing. CA InterTest for CICS displays the Source Listing Display screen for the program.
2. Press PF5 to set monitoring, which remains in effect for the program until specifically removed.
