zUnit need to support pointer item and pointer area as parameters of a sub program call

We cannot use zUnit for our BMP modules! We use IMS as our transaction manager, so the majority of our batch modules are BMP’s.Almost 100% of our modules use AIBTDLI.Almost all of our modules use the use the same (company) standard.After the AIBTD...

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 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

We found out, that we only have the variables of the linkage section, that were transferred with PROCEDURE DIVISION USING … In the Test Case Editor. The functionality in our programs is different. There is no USING, we use the so called ‘Versorger...

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.

Add instream support for procedures called from JCL, and STEPLIB support

Competitor's testing products utilize process to make changes to execution JCL that include making the impacted PROC instream. This allows for PGM= substitution to their monitoring program, modifying PARM statement if required, modifying existing ...

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.

zUnit test case prefix is actually not required and its creating some other issues

Test case perfix overridng other program test cases and its a very high potential issue
about 1 year ago in IBM Developer for z/OS / zUnit 2 Not under consideration

While creating the test case, after we selected "Multiple folder" option, IDZ need to set all the folder name automatically.

Eacn and every time, we need to select manually after we select the option "Multiple folder" and its very time consuming as well. If this is fixd, it would be very helpful to developers.
