No Monitor Option (NOM)

NOM stops CA InterTest for CICS monitoring at the specified location and gives control to the machine instruction on which the NOM option was specified. If the code was not already being monitored, it continues unmonitored. After a NOM entry, the program continues unmonitored unless CA InterTest for CICS encounters a MON entry or a LINK/XCTL to another program already being monitored.

Specify these options in your program at the same type of locations you use to set individual breakpoints, such as at COBOL paragraph names or statement numbers. Each option takes effect as it is encountered during program execution. Each MON and NOM option is an independent request to start or stop CA InterTest for CICS monitoring, regardless of the current monitoring status.

Note: The MON and NOM options are not CICS user ID or terminal sensitive. An option set from one terminal applies when the program executes from any terminal by any CICS user.

When using MON and NOM, specify breakpoints and other options in your program. If you set a MON or NOM option at the same location as a breakpoint or other option, the MON or NOM option executes first. This means the MON option starts monitoring and hits the breakpoint, but since NOM drops monitoring before the breakpoint is encountered, you never receive the breakpoint that is set where a NOM is also set.
