Resume Execution from a Specific Location

To resume program execution from the breakpoint location where your program stops, the Source Listing screen must display.

1. Press PF3 from any CA InterTest for CICS screen until the breakpoint screen appears.
2. Press PF5 to continue from the current breakpoint. You can also type RESUME on the Command line and press Enter.

   Execution continues until the program halts at another breakpoint or the task completes.

   If you are stopped at an automatic breakpoint, you must first correct the error that triggered the breakpoint before continuing execution from that point, or you can go around the error and continue execution from another location.

To resume program execution from another location, perform the following steps:

1. Display the statement where you want to resume execution. For details, see Display Your Source Listing.
2. Type g to the left of that statement.
3. Press Enter. Program execution resumes from that statement.

   The following example shows how to resume execution from a location prior to an automatic breakpoint. This is useful if you corrected a record or dynamically modified an incorrect file name and now want the program to re‑read the record or file.

4. When you press Enter, execution resumes from READ‑DATASET, the location you identified with g.
