Program Test Vehicle (PTV) Online Utility

Program test vehicle (PTV) is an online utility (referred to as the PTV utility in the remainder of this book) that enables you to test application programs in progressive levels of system involvement. Applications are tested individually, with related programs, within a transaction, and within a full TPF system.

Note:
The PTV utility is allowed only in a uniprocessor environment.

There are 3 distinct test activities:

Data from the test run is written to the real-time log tape. PTV output is formatted and printed by the offline diagnostic output formatter (DOF).
