Retrieving and Registering Program Listings from PROTSYM

Set DYNREG_PROTSYM to YES to allow CA Mainframe Application Tuner to dynamically retrieve and register program listings from PROTSYM, if the listing is available.

Business Value:

Following this best practice makes computing addresses, displacements, monitoring address changes, and the manual registration of programs after recompilation unnecessary.

With a single preprocessing step, the same symbolic listings are dynamically available to CA InterTest, CA SymDump, CA Optimizer/II, and CA Mainframe Application Tuner users. Following this best practice automatically correlates the program source code to the CA Mainframe Application Tuner report.

Additional Information:

Manual registration of programs is still available. This best practice also applies to modules that consist of separately compiled programs that are link-edited together.
