   This menu displays link‑edit information for the composite program and its subroutines; for example, ASBIN25 and CSBIN25. This information is received from a batch job, executed after the composite module was link‑edited.

   The batch job that provides the link‑edit information identifies all of a program's called subroutines. For efficiency, however, it is a good idea to specify monitor‑names just for the subroutines you want to test. You can always set monitoring for additional subroutines by assigning monitor‑names on the Composite Support menu.

6. Press PF5 to set composite support.

   CA InterTest for CICS sets composite support for COBDEML and returns you to the Program Monitoring menu.

   Now CA InterTest for CICS monitors the subroutines and the composite module so you can take advantage of all CA InterTest for CICS facilities to test and debug each of the programs.
