**Example**

**Performs verification to check if the specified text exists on the emulator screen**

The **Verify Text Exists** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **CICS1**) and verifies whether the given text is present on the mainframe screen. The result of the verification is stored in the **{Verify}** variable as **True** ( if the text is found successfully ) or **False** ( if the text is not found)
