Set and Remove Composite Support

The CA InterTest for CICS composite support feature lets you take advantage of all of the CA InterTest for CICS capabilities when you test and debug composite modules. A composite module is a load module defined in the PPT that consists of separately compiled or assembled parts brought together when the module is link‑edited. The part of the composite module that receives control from CICS is referred to as the main program; the remaining parts are referred to as subprograms. The main program and subprograms are written in the same or different languages.

Composite support lets you test and debug a subprogram as if it were a separate program. This means you set breakpoints and other monitoring options individually for any subprogram.

CA InterTest for CICS provides full symbolic support for the main program and subprograms if you provide that information when the programs are compiled or assembled.

Function 23 on the CNTL Function Selection Menu is one method of accessing the Composite Support screen, a sample screen follows. An alternative method of accessing this screen is from the ITST monitoring menus.
