ZUnit: Filter option for displaying fields in the Test Case Editor

In the Test Case Editor, all fields defined in the program and/or in the Copybook are displayed. Both the referenced and the unused fields are presented, which leads to the fact that with a compatible extension of Copybooks (and thus to a multipli...

Program Type in results should be accurate

Support for SYSIN and ACCEPT during recording and replay

If a COBOL program performs an ACCEPT on SYSIN then its replay fails with an abend U4038. It works if a SYSIN DD is added during replay. In a pipeline build, it will be better if the Dynamic Test Runner could record and replay SYSIN DD like any o...
