Assembler Symbolic Version Processing

Assembler programs have no internal date and time generated by the compiler, which prevents date and time matching. However, when LIST=program or CNTL=ON,PROG=program is requested for an Assembler program with multiple symbolic versions and no previously declared breakpoints or monitoring options, CA InterTest for CICS displays a Symbolic Version List from which you select the appropriate symbolic file or ignore symbolic processing for the program.

During automatic breakpoint processing, if an Assembler program has no previously selected symbolic file and has multiple symbolic file versions, CA InterTest for CICS automatically displays the first symbolic file in your concatenation.

Once a symbolic file is selected for an Assembler program, CA InterTest for CICS continues to use the selected file and bypasses subsequent date and time matching until all declared breakpoints and monitoring options are removed from the program, or until a CNTL=NEW,PROG=program command is executed.
