Capturing C input to stdin

To redirect stdin input so that you can enter it from the command prompt, do the following steps

1. Enter the following command: SET INTERCEPT ON FILE stdin ;
2. When z/OS® Debugger encounters a C statement such as scanf, the following message is displayed in the Log window:

   EQA1290I The program is waiting for input from stdin           
   EQA1292I Use the INPUT command to enter up to a maximum of 1000
            characters for the intercepted variable-format file.  

3. Enter the INPUT command to enter the input data.
