ITST Access to Indirect Commands

The ITST Monitoring Menus and the CNTL menu allow direct access to the indirect commands facility, where you can code or edit indirect commands to be executed by breakpoints.

From any menu or Source Listing screen, perform these steps:

  1. Access the ITST Program Monitoring menu (ITST 2.1).

    The fast-path command entry from a breakpoint is:

    Command ==> =1.2.1.

  2. On the Program Monitoring menu, complete the Program name and type S next to the Commands (indirect commands) Option.
  3. Press Enter to continue to the next screen. The Indirect Commands screen displays.

Optionally, specify the terminal ID where the indirect commands will take effect and the user ID that executes the program when the indirect commands are to take effect.

Note: Generally, accept the defaults. Press PF1 for help in completing these fields, if necessary.

To edit indirect commands previously coded for a program, ensure the terminal ID and user ID entries match those initially used to code the indirect commands.

Press Enter to continue. CA InterTest for CICS displays the Indirect Commands screen for the requested program, terminal ID, and user ID.
