Set Request Breakpoints from the Source Listing

Set request breakpoints to halt a program prior to CICS commands and other program calls (such as calls to DL/I, DB2, or SQL/DS). Instruct CA InterTest for CICS to halt the program before every CICS command, or a type of CICS command, such as File Control or Program Control commands. Specify that the program halts before specific commands, such as all READ or WRITE commands. Once the program is halted, use all of the CA InterTest for CICS facilities to inspect and modify main storage or auxiliary storage or to set additional options.

Set request breakpoints easily from the source listing by entering the RBP command. Once set, request breakpoints are identified by an R during program execution. Set them also from the Monitoring menus and they are most easily removed from the Monitoring Status display (STATUS command).

After completing the RBP menus, press PF4 Return until CA InterTest for CICS returns you to the Source Listing display.
