Step Through a Program

You can initiate the single-step debugging process on the currently active program listing.

Follow these steps:

  1. Expand the Monitored Programs tree under any batch or CICS project in the CA InterTest™ Debug view.

  2. Select the batch or CICS session to debug.

  3. Click the Position at breakpoint in listing icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view toolbar if the listing is not active.

  4. Click the Step Once icon on the CA InterTest™ Debug view toolbar.
    CA InterTest™ control stops at the next executable statement. The Auto Data view is refreshed with variable or label names that are part of the executable statement at which CA InterTest™ control halted. The Watch Data view refreshes the existing variable or label names that you had previously added.
    When the program stops at a breakpoint, you can open the Memory Dump dialog and review the variables in a layout with their corresponding values. To display the Memory Dump dialog, click the Memory Dump icon on any of the following views toolbar: Auto Data, Watch Data, Register Data, and Session Data. You can also formulate memory expressions to fine-tune data analysis using the Memory Dump dialog.
