The Primary Option Menu and Breakpoint Menu

Primary Option Menu

The menus offer easy access to the CA InterTest for CICS LIST, CNTL, CORE, FILE, and SYMD facilities. The Primary Option Menu is available at all times, even if you did not start the session from a menu. For example, if you started your CA InterTest for CICS session using LIST=COBDEMO, from the Source Listing Display you can still use PF6 Menu to display the Primary Option Menu. If you used single‑line commands to set monitoring and breakpoints for your program, and then execute the program and reach a breakpoint, PF 6 Menu displays the Breakpoint Primary Option Menu and Option 1 Main Menu accesses the Primary Option Menu.

To access the Primary Option Menu, enter ITST from CICS, from any Source Listing display or breakpoint, or any CA InterTest for CICS menu.

• Before a test session, sign on to CICS, and then enter the ITST transaction
• From any Source Listing display or breakpoint display, type ITST on the command line
• From the Breakpoint Primary Option Menu, type ITST or select option 1 Main Menu
