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...

Unit testing to be available on VS Code

Currently zUnit is only available on IDz. Test cases can be executed out of IDz but, test cases and recordings can only be created within IDz. This causes a lock-in in IDz, so this prevents using other IDEs like VSC or CodeReady Workspaces. We nee...
