Access Storage from the Menus

Access the Main Storage (CORE) menus as follows:

From a Source Listing breakpoint or display, enter CORE on the top command line and press Enter.
From the Primary Option menu, enter Option 3 Main Storage.

CA InterTest for CICS displays the Main Storage Menu.

After completing a CORE menu, press Enter to get a structured display of main storage. From a structured display, press Enter if you want the dump format. The two formats are discussed in CORE Main Storage Displays earlier in this chapter.

The following table summarizes what you can do from each Main Storage menu.

Main Storage Option	Functions
1. System areas	Display, change, or scan: CICS system areas (CSA, OPFL, TCT); individual table entries in the TCT; CICS addresses. Display, load, or delete program load modules and BMS maps. Change functions can be password‑protected
2. Task areas	Get storage for a task. Display, change, or scan storage for these task‑related CICS areas: CLOT, DWE, JCA, LLA, PLCB, PTA, SQLCA, SQLRCODE, RDIIN, SMX, STCA, TACB, TASKENT, TCA, TIOA, TSIOA, TWA, USER, XMTXN.
3. Breakpoint areas	Display, change, scan, or verify the following breakpoint‑related data: data items, registers, or program locations; special elements (includes Breakpoint Message, COBOL BLL cells, COMMAREA, Facility Control Area, COBOL TGT, Saved Screen Image, COBOL Working‑storage, COBOL Local-Storage, Exec Interface Block, TCT User Area); access the Complex data menu to display qualified, indexed, and subscripted COBOL data names when at a breakpoint.
