Create new output test stream

This option controls the disposition of the run output. The following chart illustrates how these options should be specified.

The default is blank (to discard the output test stream and output ruleset). To use this option you must also set the Record History option to N (because History is stored in the output test stream).

Follow these steps:

1. Specify the entire name or let CA Verify for VTAM generate it as follows:
   • Type an asterisk (*) as the first character of the ddname to generate the same test stream name with the version incremented by one.
   • Type an equal sign (=) for any part of the name — for example, ddname, Application, Member, or Version — to instruct CA Verify for VTAM to use that part of the name from the input test stream. For example, if you specify = for Member, CA Verify for VTAM will use the input Member name for the new output Member name.
2. Press Enter after specifying the new output name.

   CA Verify for VTAM generates the name and redisplays the Run Options menu with the new name.

   • When an input test stream contains only input screens and an output test stream is created, the output test stream will contain both input and output screens.
   • When a new output test stream is created, a new output ruleset is also created (if rulesets are being used). This ruleset will match the output test stream and will contain just the recognition criteria and the variables from the input ruleset.
