PL/I Advanced Demo Session › Option 01: Replace a File Control ID › Change the File Name

Change the File Name

CA InterTest for CICS lets you dynamically change an incorrect file name in the middle of your test session, allowing you to continue testing without recompiling your program. In this case, you can correct a simple typo in the demo program without interrupting your test session or changing your File Control Table.

To change the file name, you need to access the Program Monitoring Replacement Options menu.

1. Specify RO on the command line.
2. Press Enter.

   The Replacement Options menu appears.

   The Set Replacement Options menu lets you dynamically change a program name, file name, transient data queue name, or temporary storage ID.

3. Tab to the Replace file name field.
4. Specify the incorrect file name (proth) in the first column and the correct file name (prothlf) in the second column, and press Enter.
