Select a Test Stream From the Test Stream Selection Menu

The Test Stream Selection menu lists all the test streams for the specified ddname.

Your position in the list depends on your specifications on the Run Options menu.

• If both the Application and Member fields are blank, CA Verify for CICS positions you at the first test stream for the specified ddname.
• If you leave only the Member field blank, CA Verify for CICS positions you just before the first test stream for the specified ddname and Application.
• If you key in a partial name, CA Verify for CICS positions you accordingly. For example, if you specify PAY as the Member name and blank out the Version number, CA Verify for CICS positions you just before the first test stream whose member name begins with 'PAY'.

A sample Test Stream Selection list is illustrated in the following example:

Type S to the left of the test stream you want to run and press Enter. The Run Options menu is redisplayed with the name of the test stream you selected.

The Test Stream Selection menu provides the following information for each test stream:

• Its name: Application, Member, and Version
• The date on which it was logged
• The ID of the operator who initiated the log
• The number of records in the test stream
• The result of the last run:

  LGC EQ

  There was a mismatch, but you did not stop at it because of variables or rules which automatically resolved the mismatch

  PHY EQ

  The test streams are byte-for-byte physically equal

  NOT EQ

  There was a mismatch during the run, which you stopped at

• The description of the test stream specified when it was logged
• M to indicate a multiple terminal test stream.

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 CICS 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 CICS to use that part of the name from the input test stream. For example, if you specify = for Member, CA Verify for CICS will use the input Member name for the new output Member name.
2. Press Enter after specifying the new output name.

   CA Verify for CICS 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.
