Structured Displays of DSECTs in PRINT OFF Areas

To get a structured display for a DSECT in a PRINT OFF area:

1. Create an Assembler job containing your common DSECT layouts and use the CA InterTest for CICS post‑processor step. To save space in the CA InterTest for CICS Symbolic File:
   • Do not specify the LISTER option.
   • Do not link‑edit the module.
   • No PPT entry is necessary.

   The module name must be unique in the CA InterTest for CICS symbolic file, or create one program containing all the common DSECTs and have them printed in the Assembler listing.

2. To reference the module created in Step 1, add the following USE option to your CORE commands:

   CORE=USE=modulename
   

   This command instructs CORE to use the named module instead of the program stopped at a breakpoint when interpreting any symbolic names in the command.
