Select the Ruleset Option

CA Verify for VTAM allows you to change or add a rule to a ruleset without terminating the run. For instance, if you forgot to account for an expected screen change, you can select Option 1 to display the Applied Rules panel. From here, rulesets and individual rules can be browsed, edited, or deleted. After you modify a ruleset and reactivate the run, CA Verify for VTAM will repeat the comparison, taking into account your rule specification. CA Verify for VTAM also provides other options for dealing with mismatches during a run, including ignoring the mismatch to continue the run, and updating or replacing a screen in the test stream. See the chapter "Run Function", for more information.

Shortly, you will define the time as a variable field. When CA Verify for VTAM compares the Original and Current screens, it will exclude variable fields from the comparison. First, however, you must establish a ruleset.
