Batch Run

The Batch Run function executes CA Verify for VTAM and runs test streams in batch. Differences between the expected and current screens can then be printed using the Print function.

Use the Run command to invoke the Run function

RUN d.a.m.v. THINK(NONE) LIMIT(999999) [SCREEN/LOGICAL/PHYSICAL/NONE] SUPOTS [BATSIGN(xxxxxxxx)]

Run (Required)

Invokes the run.

d.a.m.v. (Required)

Identifies the test stream:

d: DDname
a: Application
m: Member
v: Version

Think(NONE) (Optional)

Specifies no simulated operator think time, the default. You can also specify a number of seconds or a percentage. See the "Run Function" chapter for valid parameters.

Limit(nnnnnn) (Optional)

Specifies the maximum number of mismatches CA Verify for VTAM should allow. The default is 999999. If this number is exceeded, CA Verify for VTAM stops the run. Mismatches generated up to that point are recorded and the output test stream is retained.

Screen/Logical/Physical (Optional)

Specifies the type of comparison. The default is screen. See the "Run Function" chapter for an explanation of these options.

Supots (Optional)

The default is for CA Verify for VTAM to create an output test stream with the same name as the input test stream and the version incremented to the next available one. Differences are automatically recorded. Specify this option to suppress the output test stream.

[Batsign(xxxxxxxx)] (Optional)

Specifies an override for the XTCAOPTS installation option AUTSIGN = APPLICATION. xxxxxxxx is the name of the #SIGNON and #SIGNOFF test stream. The BATSIGN parameter value will be substituted for the application when the #SIGNON and #SIGNOFF test streams are run.
