When your application programs are compiled or assembled, symbolic information about the program is written to various reports in the output listing. A program called a postprocessor reads the output listing, collects the symbolic information, and stores it in a symbolic repository called a PROTSYM.
Using the listing postprocessors to collect symbolic information does not alter your program in any way. The listing produced by your compiler or assembler is used only as input. Your object module is not altered. Only the PROTSYM is updated.
After the symbolic information has been stored in the PROTSYM, you can access the information by any of the CA Application Quality and Testing Tools products to provide symbolic support for your application.
