Set Conditional Breakpoints

First, CA InterTest for CICS displays the Conditional Locations screen.

This screen is similar to the screen used to specify unconditional breakpoints, and you should enter the information in the same way. For details, see Set Unconditional Breakpoints earlier in this chapter.

A special feature lets you set a conditional breakpoint at all instructions.

To set conditional breakpoints:

1. Enter an x in the All Instructions field to request this option. If you request the All Instructions option and set a variable‑change breakpoint, the breakpoint takes effect whenever the value of the variable changes.
2. Specify the breakpoint locations, and press Enter to display the Conditional Breakpoint screen.
3. Specify the condition that must be satisfied for the breakpoint to take effect on the Conditional Breakpoint screen.

There are two versions of the Conditional Breakpoint screen: a simplified version for COBOL users, and a detailed version for PL/I and Assembler users and for those COBOL users who prefer this version.

On either version you, specify a condition in this format:
