Enable Statement Tracing and Data Monitoring

Use the TRACE command to enable the statement tracing facility. If a statement trace table was not created for the transaction, it will be created prior to executing the next statement in the program. The number of entries in the table is defined by the STMTTRCE option in IN25OPTS. Once statement tracing is activated, CA InterTest for CICS saves information about each statement in the program, as it is executed. When all of the statement table entries are used, the table will wrap around and the oldest entry is reused for the current statement.

Use the DATAMON command, or DM, to enable data monitoring for a program. Since the statement trace facility is required for data monitoring, it will also be enabled if it is not already active. Once data monitoring is active, CA InterTest for CICS captures the data values for each statement in the program, as it is executed.
