Breakpoint Activities › Work with Data at a Breakpoint › Example

Example

Enter m to the left of the fields TASKNUM and TASK‑TEXT from their definitions in Working‑storage and press Enter. The formatted MOVE commands display.

To change the value of a data item, follow these steps:

1. Enter one of the following in the entry field:
   • A data name
   • ZEROS, SPACES, LOW‑VALUES, HIGH‑VALUES, QUOTES
   • A numeric literal with or without a leading + or – sign
   • An alphanumeric literal enclosed in single quotes
   • ALL literal to fill the data item with a specified literal string. For example: ALL '–' fills the field with dashes.
2. Press Enter to execute the MOVE command. CA InterTest for CICS responds with a main storage display showing the result of the first MOVE. For multiple moves, the storage displays are shown one at a time; press Clear to process the next one.

   Note: If you do not press Clear, the remaining MOVE commands will not execute.

3. From the CORE display, press Clear or PF3 to return to the source listing breakpoint display.

Note: All modifications to main storage are dynamic. This means that the changes are one‑time fixes to current values, and will not prevent the same error from occurring again. For a more permanent correction, specify a set of indirect commands to be executed at a particular program location. For details, Indirect Commands later in this chapter.
