TEST STREAM TO COPY TO

The name of the test stream being copied appears in the DDname, Application, Member, and Version fields. Modify the name as you wish.

START WITH RECORD NUMBER

The first record to be copied to the output test stream. The default is record 1. Terminal status information is automatically copied because it is required by the Run function.

STOP AFTER RECORD NUMBER

The last record to be copied to the output test stream. The default is record 999999. Use this option to truncate a test stream that ends in the middle of a transaction or at another inconvenient point.

INCLUDE RULESET

Copies the associated ruleset to the corresponding name. Y, the default, copies the ruleset; type N if you do not want the ruleset to be copied.

TERMINAL

Enter a terminal name to select one terminal from a multiple terminal test stream. If you leave this field blank, CA Verify for VTAM displays the Terminal Selection menu.

This menu lists the following for each terminal in the test stream:

Original terminal name
Terminal type; for example, 3277 remote, 3277 local
Screen size
Alternate screen size
Virtual terminal to be used when the test stream is run

Type S to the left of one or more terminals and use the Continue (PF3) command. The terminals you select are the ones from which records will be copied.

Type I to the left of a terminal for which you want to view Initial Terminal Status information and press Enter. See the "Browse Function" chapter for an explanation of the Initial Terminal Status menu. When you exit from this menu, CA Verify for VTAM redisplays the Terminal Selection menu.

Use CA Verify for VTAM commands as follows:

Up (PF7) and Down (PF8) to view additional terminals which do not appear on the initial menu
End (PF3) to cancel the copy

Press Enter when you have completed the Copy menu. CA Verify for VTAM copies the test stream and redisplays the Utilities or Test Stream Selection menu, along with a message.

Use the End (PF3) command to cancel the copy.
