Composite Support Screen

The Composite Support screen lists link-edit information for the subprograms. The link-edit information is obtained either from PROTSYM where it was saved by the optional batch job step (IN25LINK) or dynamically using Binder API. Subprograms with prefixes CEE, DFH, DFS, ILB, IBM, IGZ and @@ are automatically excluded from the list unless you specifically name the subprograms in the batch job step. All listed subprograms are automatically selected for monitoring by default.

The following figure shows the Composite Support screen:

The Composite Support screen contains the following fields:

ΠFilter

Enables you to specify various criteria to filter the subprograms that are displayed on the Composite Support screen.

 Select All

Enables you to select or deselect all subprograms for testing.

Values: A (selects all subprograms that meet the specified filter criteria), N (deselects all subprograms that meet the specified filter criteria)

Ž Selection

Indicates whether a subprogram is selected for testing or not.

Values: S (subprogram is selected), _ (subprogram is not selected).

Link‑name

Identifies the name of a COBOL program, Assembler CSECT, or PL/I Control Section as listed in the link‑edit map.

Monitor

Specifies the name under which CA InterTest for CICS monitors the program.

The following rules apply to monitor names:

• Each monitor name must be unique.
• The monitor name of a subprogram cannot have a PPT entry unless the subprogram is the main subprogram.
• A monitor name can be identical to a link‑name.
• If you want symbolic information for a program or subprogram, its monitor name must be identical to the name used in the post‑processor batch job step that provides the symbolic information to CA InterTest for CICS.

Offset

Displays the hexadecimal offset of the program as listed in the link‑edit map.

Length

Displays the hexadecimal length of the program as listed in the link‑edit map.

Language

Identifies the language in which the program is written. If CA InterTest for CICS has symbolic information for the program, it uses the language specified in the post‑processor batch job. If CA InterTest for CICS does not have symbolic information, it assumes that the subprogram is written in the language specified in the PPT entry of the composite module.

Comments

Displays optional comments or warnings, which describe symbolic information available for the program:

symbolics not available—CA InterTest for CICS does not have symbolic information for the program.

symb data after linkedt—The program might have been recompiled or reassembled after the link‑edit. Composite support information might be outdated.
