Activate Dynamic Symbolic Support

The dynamic symbolic support feature, when activated, dynamically retrieves the compiler or assembler listing of the program being printed or viewed from a listing data set managed by CA Endevor SCM and loads it into the designated PROTSYM file. For this feature to work, the load module library (JOBLIB or STEPLIB) where the load module is loaded and the listing data set containing the module listing must be under the control of CA Endevor SCM.

To activate the dynamic symbolic support feature

1. Specify the option NDVRDSS=ON in your installation options table CAOUDFRX using the CAIOPTS DD statement, or in the SYM Option 5 panel.
2. Designate a PROTSYM file to receive the dynamic populated symbolic using the NDVRDSN option.

   The designated PROTSYM file can be any existing PROTSYM file and is searched ahead of all other PROTSYM files specified.

When the dynamic symbolic support feature is activated, it loads the correct symbolic information whenever a matching symbolic version is not found.

You can reload the symbolic files associated with programs that do not contain a time stamp in the executable, such as non-LE-enabled Assembler programs, every time they are printed or viewed. You can activate this behavior using the additional option NDVRASM=ON. Default is not to refresh the symbolic. This option, when suppressed (NDVRASM=OFF), never refreshes the symbolic of a non-LE-enabled Assembler program.

Note: The dynamic symbolic support feature cannot differentiate between multiple listing outputs created by a single CA Endevor SCM processor for the same element. Thus, dynamic symbolic support using listing outputs from multiple compiles or assemblies from a single CA Endevor SCM GENERATE or MOVE action for the same element may produce unpredictable results.
