CNTL Command Syntax

CNTL command syntax uses the following notational conventions:

• Uppercase words (such as CNTL) are CA InterTest for CICS keywords that must be entered exactly as shown
• Lowercase words (such as promid) represent user‑supplied information and should be replaced with the appropriate entries.
• Information in brackets is optional and can be omitted

The following list contains the terms used in command syntax for which you must substitute the appropriate information.

promid

Identifies one or more programs, transactions, or terminals. Use one of the following formats:

 PROG=program
 PROG=(prog1,...,prog9)
 TRAN=trancode
 TRAN=(tran1,...,tran9)
 TERM=terminal
 TERM=(term1,...,term9)
 PROG=.ALL                to specify the entire system

Note: * replaces promid for the monitoring table entry currently at a breakpoint at your terminal.

progname

Identifies a program.

locn

Identifies a program location. Specify a location in one of the following ways:

• One- to five-digit hexadecimal displacement (offset) from the beginning of the program
• Six- or eight-digit hexadecimal address
• A COBOL paragraph name enclosed in single quotes
• A COBOL or PL/I statement number preceded by a # sign
• A PL/I or Assembler label enclosed in single quotes

options

Indicates one or more CNTL monitoring options. Separate multiple options with commas.

Enter CNTL commands directly on a clear screen or on the command line of a source listing, breakpoint, or CORE display.
