Different Methods of Using CA InterTest for CICS

You can access CA InterTest for CICS features using either command syntax or ISPF-like menus and selection screens. You access features using different methods during a single test session.

Use the ITST transaction to display the Primary Option Menu.

Bypass menu processing by using special commands or single keystrokes for the most frequently used testing functions. For example, you can instruct CA InterTest for CICS to set monitoring, breakpoints, or display main storage by pressing a PF key or entering a single action character next to a line in the source listing display. You can access a main menu or a specific menu function by entering its fastpath syntax (=X.Y.Z) on the command line on the top of any Source Listing or Breakpoint display.

You can also use transaction‑based commands for LIST, CNTL, CORE, and FILE facilities.

Example

Entering LIST=COBDEMO directly from CICS displays the Source Listing Display of the program COBDEMO, where you can set breakpoints before you begin executing the program.
