The CA InterTest for CICS LIST transaction displays the source for an application program but also provides the capability of setting breakpoints from the source as well. There are a number of PF key assignments at the top of the display, one of which is PF4 PROFILE. When setting breakpoints, acceptable entries for the "From Terminal ID" found on the LIST profile are a valid TCT (terminal id) entry, .ANY, or .NO.
What are the differences between FROM=termid, FROM=.ANY, or FROM=.NO and when should each be used?
The From Terminal ID identifies where the program executes. The default for the From Terminal ID setting depends on your system's installation option value for DFLTUSER.
However, FROM=.ANY is also valid with DFLTUSER=.ANY. The program will be monitored and the associated breakpoints will display when the task is initiated from any terminal or even without a terminal.
On the other hand, FROM=.NO is more specific. Program monitoring and the associated breakpoints will only take effect when the program runs as a background transaction without a terminal. Please bear in mind that if FROM=.NO is used, the BKPT Terminal ID, (the terminal that receives the breakpoints), must specify a valid 3270 terminal. If set to .ANY or .NO, the task will abend with an INTE abend when the first breakpoint is encountered.
