Delete Records

Specify the Delete command to delete the displayed record.

To delete multiple records, key in Delete nn, where nn represents the number of records to be deleted. For example, if you enter Delete 3, CA Verify for CICS will delete the displayed record and the next two records.

For a multiple terminal test stream, the deleted records will be from the same terminal as the displayed record; records from other terminals will be ignored.

Because most applications alternately receive input from the terminal and send output to the terminal, you should usually delete an even number of screens. CA Verify for CICS will display a warning message on the Confirm Delete menu, illustrated in the following figure, if the deletion will result in:

• Two consecutive input screens
• Two consecutive output screens
• An output screen which is the first record for a single terminal test stream or the first record for a terminal in a multiple terminal test stream
