Example

The following example shows how to set unconditional breakpoints at four locations in the COBOL program COBDEMO.

      CA InterTest MONITORING COMMAND BUILDER   COBOL BREAKPOINT LOCATIONS  11 
                                                                                 
    SET breakpoint locations for PROG=COBDEMO  in any of the following fields:   
                           í                        
  Para/Data return-transid_________________      ______________________________
     Names: _______________________________      ______________________________
            _______________________________      ______________________________
  Statement  í         í         í                         
   Numbers: 1____    136__    174.2    _____    _____    _____    _____    _____ 
                                                                                
   Offsets: _____    _____    _____    _____    _____    _____    _____    ____
                                                                               
            All paragraph names:  _                                    After:_
                                                                               
            Enter 'n' to stop only every n'th time:                         ___
            Term ID (or .ANY or .NO) where breakpoints will take effect:    ___
            Term ID (or .ANY) that will receive the breakpoints:            ___
            Statement no. of indirect command(s) to be executed:                
            user ID (or .ANY) who will execute the program: BARNEY1
                                                                              
                                                                              
                                                                              
 PF1 Help       2            3 End        4 Return     5            6          
 PF7            8            9           10           11           12

The information in the previous example causes breakpoints to occur at:

• Paragraph RETURN‑TRANSID
• Statement 1, the beginning of the Procedure Division
• The first verb in statement 136
• The third verb in statement 174

Because the user ID field is specified as BARNEY1 and the terminal identification fields are left blank, these breakpoints take effect only if COBDEMO is executed by the user ID BARNEY1. The breakpoints display at whatever terminal BARNEY1 is signed on under CICS.
