IN25COB2 Options

Options are passed to IN25COB2 using a parameter statement in the CARDS DD. Specify the parameter statement as an in-stream control card, or when using a JCL procedure, generate it using program IN25PARM as follows:

//IN25PARM EXEC PGM=IN25PARM,PARM='parameter statement'
//STEPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CAI.CAVHLOAD
//CARDS    DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&CARDS,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1))

Parameter statements in the CARDS DD must begin in column 1.

The program name is the only required field on the parameter statement. This positional parameter defines the name that is used to store the symbolic information in the PROTSYM file. This name is used by the CA Application Quality and Testing Tools products to locate the symbolic information and is displayed when listing the contents of your PROTSYM.

In most cases, this name should be the same as the PROGRAM-ID. However, when loading symbolic information for use with CA InterTest for CICS, you must specify the name of the CICS program definition, or when using composite support, specify the monitor name.

The following example shows an in-stream parameter statement that can be used to save symbolic information using the name ORDEDIT:

//CARDS  DD *
