This is how to test that GDDM/MVS has been installed successfully for use under the CICS subsystem:

  1. Type the transaction name for the GDDM/MVS installation verification program: ADMA.
    
    
  2. Press ENTER
    
    
    A picture should be displayed that shows the words "Welcome to GDDM Version 3.2". This picture is the ADMTEST ADMGDF, which is stored in the ADMF data set.
    
    
  3. Go into GDDM User Control by pressing the User Control key.
    
    
    The default User Control key is PA3. If your keyboard does not have a PA3 key, or the PA3 key is already used by another application, set the User Control key to another value. To do this, add the following nickname user default specification to the external defaults file, or external defaults module:
    
    
    
              ADMMNICK FAM=1,PROCOPT=((CTLKEY,type,value))
    

    where type defines the type of key selected for entering User Control (1=PF key, 4=PA key), and value defines the number of the PF or PA key to be used. The line must start with a space in column 1.
    
    
    For more information about nicknames and supplying user-default specifications, see the GDDM System Customization and Administration book.
    
    
    For more information about User Control, see the GDDM User's Guide.
    
    
    The User Control panel should now be superimposed on the bottom of the display, using the language specified by the NATLANG external default.
    
    
    While you are in this panel, you can also test the GDDM print utility if you have already customized it. For information about the print utility, see the GDDM System Customization and Administration book. To create a print file for testing the GDDM print utility using GDDM User Control:
    
    
    1. Press PF4 for the User Control output panel.
      
      
    2. Type the terminal ID of the printer to which you want to send the output, as defined in your TCT.
      
      
    3. Press PF4 to send the file to be printed.
      
      
      A highlighted message is displayed when the print has completed successfully.
      
      

  4. Press PF3 until you have left the transaction.
    
    

This completes the test of the graphic and alphanumeric functions of GDDM/MVS.
