Designating the PROTSYM Library to Receive Dynamic Symbolic Support Auto-Population

When using dynamic registration (DYNREG_PROTSYM=YES and DYNREG_ENDEVOR=YES are both specified), designate which PROTSYM library name is the Dynamic symbolic support Auto-Population receiver.

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. Enter a number from one to eight corresponding to the PROTSYM library names to designate it as the receiver of Dynamic symbolic support Auto-Population.
