Identifying the Main Program and Subroutines

Subsequent parameter cards optionally identify the main program and each subroutine that you want to test separately. These cards can be entered in any order and must specify two names, separated by commas, as follows:

link-name, monitor-name

link-name identifies the name of the control section as listed in the link-edit map, and must begin in column 1. For a PL/I program, specify the name of the compiler-generated control section that ends with '1'.

monitor-name specifies the name under which the program is monitored. Follow these rules in selecting a monitor-name:

• Each monitor-name must be unique.
• The monitor-name of the main program must be the same as the CICS program definition name for the composite module.
• The monitor-name of a subroutine cannot be the same as a CICS program definition name.
• The monitor-name can be identical to the link-name.
• If you have used a postprocessor to add symbolic information for the main program or a subroutine, the monitor-name is the name that you specified on the parameter card to that postprocessor.

Only the first parameter card is required; omit all subsequent cards. If you omit the subsequent parameter cards, only the name of the composite module is stored in the PROTSYM file. When you attempt to monitor the composite module with CA InterTest for CICS, you are prompted for additional composite information.
