TSO TEST command on MVS TK5


 

Hi, I'm trying to use TEST to debug a simple assembler language program. TEST's LIST sub-command doesn't? work. Is this a known problem? I can share my source code and the JCL I'm using to assemble the program if that word be useful.

Hi Mike,

?

You can try using the Acetest application that comes with ISPF. It is documented in the ISPF .DOC file.

?

It is just so much better than TSO Test - especially when using it in fullscreen mode under ISPF.

Well, we're overwhelmed with details. At this stage, rather than info about your program, how about presenting the command and the response that shows that it "doesn't work"?

Cheers,
Greg


 

If the program loaded at address 12540
try commands such as
l 12540. i m(4)
or
l 12r% i m(10)?
(from memory--use ? instead of % depnding on the current addressing mode)

I figured it out. TEST doesn't like leading zeros. Very TOUCHY.


 

Hi Mike,
?It could be as simple as TEST wanting addresses in hex digit pairs,
i.e. even number of characters, yours is an odd number so won't convert easily to an address.

If you have spare time try it again with another zero to make it an even number of characters.

LIST 00B9F28.
INVALID ADDRESS, 00B9F28.

-> 0 0B 9F 28, try 000B9F28
