ICT: Instruction Counter for Preventing AICA Abends

This command instructs CA InterTest for CICS to issue an EXEC CICS WAIT command each time the specified program executes nnnnn instructions. Use this option to prevent incorrect AICA abends in high CPU‑utilization programs where overhead was increased by the CA InterTest monitoring activity.

To set the instruction counter to prevent an AICA abend, enter:

ICT=nnnnn

nnnnn

Specifies the number of instructions. Replace nnnnn with a decimal number between 1 and 65,534.
