Action:

Lets you dynamically specify or clear a procedure White List, which explicitly identifies the outer procedures you want the to debug. Unlisted procedures get executed, but their code is not sent or debugged. This command overrides any existing White List, but it does not physically affect the contents of the white list file stored on disk (whitelist.txt). The command's effect is not persistent over runs of the Client.

Syntax:

setWhiteList [proc]... 

where proc is one of possibly multiple, blank separated, procedure file names. Name matching is case insensitive, and wildcards are allowed.

If no names are specified, the current white list is treated as empty. If one or more procedure names are specified, the contents of the white list are overridden by this new set of procedure names.

You might use this command for testing by putting it in a User Language procedure and sending that to the client via the existing TN3270 DEBUG CLIENTCOMMAND Model 204 command. Doing this lets you have a mainframe based testing harness that sets up a white list on the Client.

For example:

TN3270 DEBUG CLIENTCOMMAND 'setWhiteList P.MOE P.LARRY'   TN3270 DEBUG CLIENTCOMMAND 'turnOnWhiteList'
