View the Breakpoint at the Triggering Source Statement

CA InterTest for CICS makes it easy to find the error that caused the abend. This example shows you how to use CA InterTest for CICS facilities while viewing a dump.

To see the CA InterTest for CICS breakpoint at the source statement that triggered the abend, select the Source display from the Display Selection screen (see the section Viewing Information About the Dump). The following screen appears:

                    CA InterTest ‑ SOURCE LISTING DUMP ANALYSIS
COMMAND ===>
Program= COBDEMO  Option #       Stmt #                             Margin= 01 
                                        Search=

   00881**** TASKNUM *NOTE* FIELD MUST BE INITIALIZED
 A   ==>     ADD +1 TO TASKNUM.
     ==>
     ==> ABEND/DUMP CODE: ASRA
     ==>
     ==>      Press PF1 for a detailed description.
     ==>
 _ 00883     IF TASKNUM = 1
 .
 .
 .

The A to the left of statement 882 indicates that the abend occurred at this statement. The ASRA was caused by improperly formatted data. Since the statement ADD +1 TO TASKNUM triggered the abend, it is likely that TASKNUM contains invalid data.
