Generic Specification of Programs, Transactions, or Terminals

Use the Monitoring submenus or CNTL transaction‑based commands to set monitoring or monitoring options generically. Generic specification in CA InterTest for CICS lets you specify asterisks, *, and plus signs, +, to replace characters in a program name, transaction code, or terminal name. These specifications are interpreted according to the rules for the CICS CEMT transaction, as follows:

• An asterisk specifies any number of characters, including no characters. Specify more than one asterisk in a program name, transaction code, or terminal name. However do not specify an asterisk by itself.
• A plus sign specifies one character in a particular position. Specify more than one plus sign in a name or code. However do not specify a plus sign by itself.
• Combine asterisks and plus signs.
