Confirm the Mismatch

If you select options 4, 6, 7, 8, or 10 on the Run Mismatch Options menu, CA Verify for VTAM validates the next input screen to check for the following conditions:

The input data does not fit in the corresponding field in the current output screen
The location of an input field has changed
An input field was deleted

Any of these conditions will probably generate a mapping error (mapfail condition) when the next input screen is sent to the application. To avoid this, CA Verify for VTAM displays the Mismatch Confirmation panel.

----------------- RUN: MISMATCH CONFIRMATION -----------------11:49:50 ENTER COMMAND ===> RC RECORD NUMBER: 2 THE OPTION YOU SELECTED (6) MAY RESULT IN A MAPPING ERROR (MAPFAIL CONDITION) WHEN THE NEXT INPUT IS SENT TO THE APPLICATION. 1 INPUT FIELD NO LONGER CORRESPONDS (BECAUSE 1 OR MORE FIELDS HAVE BEEN MOVED, DELETED, OR SHORTENED). THE FIRST INPUT DATA WHICH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO ANY FIELD ON THE CURRENT SCREEN IS AT ROW 8, COLUMN 51. IT IS 1 BYTE LONG. MISMATCH OPTION 8 CAN BE USED TO ENTER THE NEXT INPUT INTO THE NEW SCREEN LOCATIONS. OPTION 5 OR 9 MAY ALSO BE APPLICABLE (IF SCREENS HAVE BEEN INSERTED OR DELETED). F1-HELP F3-END

Usually, you can correct the error by selecting option 8 on the Run Mismatch Options menu. This option displays the current output screen so you can type the input data and submit that screen in place of the original input screen. If the error occurred because screens were removed from the application, select
option 5; if the error occurred because screens were added, select option 9.

Enter the End (PF3) command to return to the Run Mismatch Options menu to select another option. Press Enter to continue the run, using the option you selected.
