IN25LINK

Use program IN25LINK to define the additional symbolic information required for testing composite modules using CA InterTest for CICS.

A composite module consists of separately compiled or assembled parts that are brought together under a single module name by the IBM Linkage Editor. In CICS, a composite module has only one CICS program definition. You can write the main program and the called subroutines in the same or different languages.

The Composite Support feature of CA InterTest for CICS lets you test the subroutines of a composite module as if they were separate programs with separate CICS program definitions. For more information about this feature, see the CA InterTest for CICS User Guide.

IN25LINK uses output from the IBM Linkage Editor and your own additional input cards to associate the subroutines of a composite module with the monitor names you define. Typically, this program is executed as a standalone batch job to load output from a single link step.

Note: While it is more efficient to use IN25LINK for composite support, you can provide the same information online using the CA InterTest for CICS CNTL menu.
