Utilities › Append Records to a Test Stream › Confirm the Append

Confirm the Append

If the output test stream contains two consecutive input or output screens from the same terminal, CA Verify for VTAM displays the Append Confirmation menu. The message on this menu indicates whether CA Verify for VTAM found two consecutive input or output screens.

Here's how either situation could occur. Suppose test stream A is being appended to test stream B. If the first screen for test stream A is an input screen and the last screen for test stream B is an input screen, the output test stream would contain two consecutive input screens. In this case, you may want to edit test stream B to delete the last input screen.

Similarly, if the first screen for test stream A is an output screen and the last screen for test stream B is an output screen, the output test stream would contain two consecutive output screens. In this case, you may want to edit test stream A to delete the first output screen.

Press Enter to confirm the Append or use the End (PF3) command to cancel it. If you confirm the Append, CA Verify for VTAM appends the records and redisplays the Utilities or Test Stream Selection menu, along with a message. If you cancel the Append, CA Verify for VTAM redisplays the Append menu.
