ZSTVS START-Start STV

Use this command to start the program test vehicle (PTV) when it is running in system test vehicle (STV) mode.

Requirements and Restrictions

Format




BLstart
starts processing the TUT tape at the specified message block, where start is the hexadecimal number of a message block.

POSIT
restarts PTV from the message block where it ended when PTV was paused.
Note:
Never specify this parameter to restart PTV after a catastrophic error.

RUNID
starts PTV from the beginning of the TUT tape.

A
starts PTV in asynchronous mode.

B
starts PTV in burst mode.

number
is the number of messages, from 1-9, to be maintained in the TPF system in asynchronous mode or to be supplied in each burst.

BLend
pauses PTV at the specified message block on the TUT tape, where end is the hexadecimal number of a message block. If you omit this parameter, PTV continues until you enter the ZSTVS PAUSE or ZSTVS STOPT command.
Note:
The value that you specify for BLend must be greater than the value that you specify for BLstart.

Additional Information

None.

Examples

PTV is started in asynchronous mode in the following example. One message is maintained by the TPF system.
