Test Output

Test output is written to the real-time log tape for offline processing by the diagnostic output formatter (DOF). DOF formats PTV information and prints a listing designed to facilitate analysis. Output can include the input/output (I/O) message stream, traced data, terminal simulation output, dumps, and the warning or control messages sent during the test. See Diagnostic Output Formatter (DOF) Online and Offline Utility for detailed information on how PTV output is formatted and printed.

Figure 3 is the input/output message stream generated during a package test run. The direct one-to-one sequence of input and matching output messages indicates messages were processed in single thread mode.

The messages are numbered directly to the right of INPUT MSG NR and OUTPUT MSG NR label. Printable characters are shown on the line with the message number. The hexadecimal representation of nonprinting characters is distributed between the line labelled hex zone and the message line. The LNIATA, 010000, is shown first, distributed as

       000
       100

followed by the control characters 6C6C, distributed as

       66
       CC

relevant to the 1052.

Input Messages

  1. The first input message requests that the ZDSYS command is started to display certain, system information. (The output from the function is shown on the OUTPUT MSG line.)
  2. The second input message is an ANSWER-BACK message generated by the TPF system for a hard terminal.
  3. The third input message requests that the ZDTIM command is entered.

The remaining input messages result in error messages, along with invocations of the ZDSYS and ZDTIM commands. These messages result from control characters, 7D5AD6115AD1 relevant to the 3270. These erroneous messages can help you evaluate parts of new or modified programs through testing.
