TEST Output
Normally, the output from TEST is sent to the file TRANOUT (your terminal
in a session or the line printer in a batch job). If you want to change
the test destination, you can precede the test number parameter with a
minus sign. Then the output goes to TRANDUMP (the formal file-designator
for the destination of the test mode output). By default, TRANDUMP is
assigned to the line printer. You can change the assignment of TRANDUMP
to a different device by using a file equation.
For example, if you are executing in a command sequence, you can direct
the test mode to the line printer by preceding the mode numeral
designation with a minus sign:
>TEST -25 <---to request test mode 25 with output to TRANDUMP
If you are not in a command sequence, you can accomplish the same results
with the following procedure:
Ctrl Y <---to stop execution
*CONTROL (Y) BREAK
>TEST -25 <---to request test mode 25 with output to TRANDUMP
>RESUME <---enter command to resume execution
You could also direct the test mode output to a disk file you create
specifically for that purpose. For example, to send the test output to
the file TEST:
:BUILD TEST; REC=-80,,F,ASCII <---create a file for test output
:FILE TRANDUMP=TEST <---equate file TRANDUMP with file TEST
:RUN TRANSACT.PUB.SYS
SYSTEM NAME> MYPROG,,-25 <---send test output to TRANDUMP(=TEST)
Another method to accomplish this is to defer test mode by setting the
output priority for TRANDUMP to 1. For example:
:FILE TRANDUMP; DEV=,1 <---defer test mode output
:RUN TRANSACT.PUB.SYS
SYSTEM NAME> MYPROG,,-25
After executing VTEST, you can run SPOOK5.PUB.SYS to examine the test
mode information saved in a spool file.
If you use test mode for statements that access a VPLUS forms file, you
should either direct the test output to a terminal other than the one
where the VPLUS forms are displayed, or direct the forms to a different
terminal. Otherwise, the test output will appear on the terminal screen
with the forms. You could also defer test output as shown above.
For example, you can direct the test output to another terminal whose
logical device number is 19, as shown:
:FILE TRANDUMP; DEV=19 <---direct test output to ldev 19
:RUN TRANSACT.PUB.SYS
SYSTEM NAME> VTEST,,-34 <---run VTEST in mode 34; output to TRANDUMP
An alternative procedure is to direct the VPLUS forms to another
terminal, while the test results are sent to your terminal. To redirect
the VPLUS forms, use the TRANVPLS formal file designator:
:FILE TRANVPLS; DEV=19 <---direct VPLUS forms to ldev 19
:RUN TRANSACT.PUB.SYS
SYSTEM NAME> VTEST,,34 <---run your program with test mode 34
Now, the test mode output and character mode output appear at your
terminal, but the VPLUS forms output appears on another terminal
identified by its logical device number.
Table 10-1 lists the allowed test parameters and their functions.
