Description

PH3
In phase 3 (package test) mode, more than one test unit can be included on a test unit tape (TUT). A test unit can also span more than one TUT tape. PTV starts automatically when it runs in phase 3 mode. During each test unit and after each test unit is complete, you can enter live input if you specified live input on the RUNID card.

STV
In system test vehicle (STV) mode, only one test unit can be included on a TUT tape. However, this test unit can span more than one TUT tape. You start and control PTV in STV mode by entering the ZSTVS commands. You can enter live input during the unit test.

LIVE
Live mode stops PTV and returns control to the TPF system.

See TPF Program Development Support Reference for a complete description of PTV, the PTV modes, the prerequisites for running PTV, and input to PTV.
