   CA InterTest for CICS performs the requested change only if it verifies that the current contents of CUST‑NAME are JIMMY. If CA InterTest for CICS does not find JIMMY in CUST‑NAME, it will not perform the change and displays a message to that effect.

2. To change the contents of CUST‑NAME to RONALD regardless of its current contents, enter nothing in the Existing data field, and in the New data field enter:

   Existing Data:
   New data: C'RONALD'
   

3. To confirm the contents of CUST‑NAME without changing them, enter nothing in the New data field, and in the Existing data field enter:

   Existing data: C'JIMMY'
   New Data:
   

4. CA InterTest for CICS informs you whether the prescribed data was found in the designated field.
5. Combine data formats in a single expression.

Example

To specify New data as the character string KEY‑CODE followed by two bytes of binary zeros, enter:

Existing data:
New data: C'KEY‑CODE'X'0000'
