This is the screen generated during the Run function when CA Verify for VTAM retested the changed program.

Notice that you do not have to use PF11 to scroll the display to the right. Once you scroll the display, CA Verify for VTAM uses the new screen position to display all future screens unless you use PF10 to change it again.

Of course, the time stamp differs from the time stamp on the Original screen. Fields like date and time are always changing. CA Verify for VTAM doesn't know that this difference is acceptable, so it flags it as a mismatch.

However, you can instruct CA Verify for VTAM to ignore fields like date and time which change with every execution by defining them as variable fields.

Action:

Press PF2.

Result:

CA Verify for VTAM rotates and displays the Original screen.
