Set Breakpoints

A breakpoint halts execution of your program. CA InterTest for CICS halts the program before the instruction at a breakpoint location is executed.

The following table shows the types of breakpoints that you can set in a program:

Breakpoint

Action

Unconditional

Stops at a specified program location.

Conditional

Stops at a specified program location when a specified condition is met.

Variable‑change

Stops when the value of a specified variable changes; for
COBOL and Assembler only.

Request

Stops at a CICS command or at calls to software.

Set breakpoints from the Source Listing Display prior to program execution, from any breakpoint during program execution, or from the Monitoring menus at any time.
