INSPECT TERM
INSPECT TERM
This command invokes the Inspect process to debug a SCREEN COBOL program 
running on a TERM object. This command establishes a breakpoint at the next program 
instruction; the program waits for commands from the Inspect process.
Before you use the INSPECT TERM command, the PXMCFG SET TCP
 INSPECT 
attribute must be set to ON.
This command can be issued for configured and temporary TERM objects. 
pathmon-object
specifies the internal PATHMON object name that is displayed in the header of a 
STATUS TERM command. For example, PM0000 is the first pathmon-object.
term-name
specifies the name of the TERM object on which the SCREEN COBOL program 
(the program to be debugged) is running.
FILE file-name
specifies the name of the Inspect command terminal (the terminal on which you 
enter the Inspect commands). file-name begins with a $ (dollar sign) followed by 
one to six alphanumeric characters; maximum of seven characters including the $. 
You cannot specify a node name as part of the file name; the node is always the 
node on which the PATHMON process is currently running.
If file-name is omitted, the Inspect command terminal is one of the following, 
listed in order of priority:
1. The terminal named in the PXMCFG SET TERM INSPECT file-name 
attribute 
2. The terminal named in the PXMCFG SET TCP INSPECT file-name 
attribute
3. The home terminal for the TCP process
Consideration
It is not necessary to specify PXMCFG SET TERM INSPECT ON before using this 
command.
INSPECT TERM { [ pathmon-object. ]term-name } 
 [ , FILE file-name ] 
Note. You can issue the INSPECT TERM command in situation 1 only if you had 
specified PXMCFG SET TERM INSPECT OFF and had at the same time specified a 
file name. You might do this to specify a default Inspect command terminal to use 
whenever you want to debug a program running on your terminal.
