Can someone pls tell me how do i put the stop conditions when i need to stop at a particular module in the called chains in a transaction.
for eg. My transaction calls PGM1 and in the chain i need to CEDF when i reach PGM26, how do i put stop conditions so that directly the cedf stops at PGM26.
Thanks in advance

I think you can do this, but I do not normally do it, so I can not tell you how. Guess you will have to look at the documentation on the CICS supplied transactions.

well, there may be some way to go till the first CICS command being executed for PGM26. But there is no way you can make it stop at program entry like Xpeditor. CICS guy said it right.

Take a look at the CEDX transaction, maybe that will help you out.

CEDX -- transaction not found on my installation! Is that specific to your shop?

CEDX (IIRC) is CEDF but instead of a terminal you point it to a transaction.

I have found the solution .I cant go to the module i want and stop but I can stop on specific link or xctl statement.
By setting the stop conditions with syntax "LINK" and the press F4 to supress the displays till I reach the appropriate link .
This would atleast reduce the wait time.

Clarity is everything. There is a difference between "CALL" and "LINK". LINKs can be caught by CEDF while CALLs can't.
If you can recompile and test, you might find some EC command tha is harmless but not used in the program and insert it prior to the LINK to PGM26 and set the initial STOP condition to it.
