zUnit should provide option to remove or clear the queues created during recording

zUnit is creating TSQs like A+ 6A²N, A+ Ù7), etc when stop recording is triggered in IDz. These TSQs are not deleted upon completion of the recording activity, thus leaving it in the system causing shortage to tempstorage.

Support for more advanced JCL parsing when recording

When recording a testcase for zUnit the JCL isn't parsed correctly when the original JCL contains a SYSTIN DD with a dataset leaving the user to do some (not always obvious) manual editing of the JCL before being able to do a record. To improve th...

Support of Assembler Subprogram Calls

Currently when recording in zUnit, any subprogram calls to assembler programs are not recorded. For more complete testing of a program it would be beneficial for zUnit to also intercept and record assembler subprogram calls.

Support for EXTERNAL data

zUnit should support data items declared as EXTERNAL. If a data item in COBOL is declared as EXTERNAL it can be used to pass data from a calling program to a subprogram, and therefore should be recorded as if it is a parameter. Also when calling a...

zUnit: Not using 'USING' but working with adresses

Z Unit supporting POINTERs in Copybooks

Z Unit UI needs to be able to support POINTERs + LENGTHS for both Batch and Online. Ie, it should make the area addressed by the pointers available to the UI, both in and outbound from the programs being tested.

When recording the zUnit test cases, the folder should be defaulted to JCL folder and not the PROGRAM folder

Since we have a JCL folder for zUnit, when ever we do start recording, it should point to JCL folder in default, which will help developer avoid manual selection and its time consuimg as well.
