The Function Selection Menu

The Function Selection screen is the main menu for the Monitoring Command Builder. This menu lists the different CNTL functions detailed later in this chapter.

If you select this function:

Also enter this:

10 through 22

In second field, enter S or R to specify SET or REMOVE. If left blank, it defaults to S.

10, 13, 16, 20, 21, 22, 24, or 30

Enter the program names, transaction codes, or terminal names. Specify from one to six programs, one to nine transactions, or one to nine terminals, but you cannot combine different types of entries. Specify .ALL to indicate all programs, transactions, or terminals. Also specify .OPTIONS in the Program Names field to set options for all programs. Optionally, specify a CICS user ID, such as MARY01, or .ANY to override the user ID default.

11, 12, 14, 15,or 23

In the Program Names field, enter one program name. Optionally, specify a CICS user ID, such as MARY01, or .ANY to override the user ID default.

31, 32, or 33

Do not specify program names, transaction codes, terminal names, or a user ID value.

Note: If a program is stopped at a breakpoint and you type CNTL in the command line to access the Function Selection Menu, CA InterTest for CICS displays the name of the monitored entry (program, transaction, or terminal) on this screen.

When you have entered all the necessary information, press Enter. In most cases, a second screen opens. If you have specified multiple programs, transactions, or terminals, the names of all the entries display on subsequent screens.

When you set breakpoints, replacement, protection, special options, or composite support, you automatically set monitoring for the programs, transactions or terminals that you specify. So, for example, it is not necessary to set monitoring and set breakpoints; setting breakpoints accomplishes both functions.

However, when you remove breakpoints, replacement, protection, special options, or composite support, you do not remove monitoring for the programs, transactions, or terminals that you specify. Monitoring remains in effect until you explicitly instruct CA InterTest for CICS to remove monitoring.
