To provide input pipe data to RSP Testor, create a temporary storage queue and populate it with data of the same type and format that will be sent to the RSP in normal use. You must name the temporary storage queue with the same name as the RSP being tested.
Because the RSP Testor screen is case sensitive, you
must enter the RSP name in capital letters so the temporary storage
queue that holds your input records can be located. If you receive
an EOF ALREADY ENCOUNTERED message,
be sure you entered the RSP name correctly.
Use program function keys to work with the results. The following table describes the program function key operations.
This key: |
Performs this function: |
|---|---|
F3 |
Terminates the RSP test |
F5 |
Displays the arguments that were specified for the RSP test. You can specify new arguments if you want. |
F6 |
Displays the messages or data produced by the RSP |
The CICS CECI transaction is a convenient tool for creating and populating the temporary storage queue with STD-format data. The following example uses the CECI command to create and load a temporary storage queue for input records:
CECI WRITEQ TS QUEUE('RSPNAME') FROM('THIS IS A DATA RECORD')A
