When to Use Indirect Commands

Indirect commands are used to correct the following sample program problems:

A variable is not being initialized during processing. Using indirect commands initialize the variable every time the program is run and continue execution without recompiling.
A new routine is needed in your program. Insert the code using indirect commands and continue executing your program without recompiling.
A section of code is bad. To continue executing or testing without recompiling, write and invoke indirect commands to direct CA InterTest for CICS to go around the bad source code or execute a new series of indirect command statements.
