Halt a Program Before Each SQL Request

To halt a program before each SQL request, use the CA InterTest for CICS request breakpoint capability:

Access the Request Breakpoint Selection menu, as explained in the chapter "Using Breakpoints."
Type X in the DB2 field at the top of the menu. Press Enter.

This instructs CA InterTest for CICS to set a breakpoint prior to each application call to DB2.

For DB2, this occurs at the call to DSNHLI.
For SQL, this occurs at the call to ARIPRDI.

When the program halts at the request breakpoint, you can inspect the values of fields. For details, see Inspect Host Variables later in this chapter.
