Overview

The Edit function lets you change input and output screens in a test stream. You can reduce your need for the Edit function by using rules the next time you upgrade your test stream or application to a new release.

Use the Edit function to:

Change fields, such as dates, before running a test stream
Create new test data. For example, you can copy a test stream and then revise the input data to create different test cases.
Eename terminals so they correspond to current terminals. For example, you may want to rename terminals if you are running printers or running with real, rather than virtual, terminals.

If you edit a test stream, CA Verify for CICS also updates the log date and time stored with each record that is changed.

Note: How to edit a ruleset or rule is covered in the chapter "Rules Function".
