Display or Modify Main Storage (CORE)

Display and modify easily the value of any data item or register in main storage directly from the source listing display screen. All main storage functions are functions of the CORE facility, but you do not have to access the CORE menus to use the functions described here.

Note: When you request main storage displays directly from your breakpoint screen, CA InterTest for CICS responds with a structured display whenever the request is for a data item defined in a structure.

Main storage functions include the following benefits:

• Displaying the value of a data item
• Modifying the value of a data item with a formatted MOVE command
• Modifying a data item by overtyping the main storage display or Keep window display
• Displaying and modifying program registers

The first three functions are discussed in the sections that follow; displaying and modifying program registers are discussed in the chapter "Source Listing Facility."

Note: Keep storage items displayed directly on your Source Listing Breakpoint screen by using the Keep window. For details, The Keep Window earlier in this chapter.
