As with most things, the Rules function has its own terminology that you must understand before you can use the function to its full capability. Here is a list of terms, with their explanations, that you will encounter while using the Rules function. Each term is also explained at the point where you would use it.
The model screen with the rule actions applied.
Logical Screen:
A collection of test stream records (each reflecting a physical I/O) that together form the screen image seen by the end user.
A copy of the logical screen that is used to specify field changes.
A set of identifiers that tells CA Verify for CICS how to recognize a logical screen in order to make changes to it. Recognition criteria can be generic (so it applies to many logical screens), or very specific (so it applies to only one logical screen).
There are two types of recognition criteria:
The rule looks for a specific field or fields on a screen. Whenever the field is found, the rule is applied.
The rule applies only to a specific screen.
A rule is a set of recognition criteria and rule actions.
An instruction for manipulating a field on a screen or which screens to log.
A set of rules detailing how to handle screens during a run or during a logging session. These rules may contain Recognition Criteria that define, to CA Verify for CICS, which screens these rules should take action on.
