zUnit : The HLQ from the MVS subproject should be used / available in the zUnit preferences

The HLQ from the MVS subproject should be used / available in the zUnit preferences


1) Indeed we would like to have at least 2 variables available in the preferences of zUnit
• <HLQ> which should be substituted with from the HLQ-value of the property that is set on the subproject. The main reason to have this info available as a variable is that at KBC IDz is running on 2 different LPARS which - due to historical reasons - have other HLQ in user for ICT-people
• <userid> which should be substituted with the userid that is logged on in the remote connection
Your proposal of <HLQSP>.<HLQ> whereas <HLQSP> is substituted with the HLQ-value of the property that is set on the subproject and keep <HLQ> for the userid is a bit odd whereas in mostly all others IDz panels <HLQ>-variable it substituted with the HLQ property that is set on the subproject (e.g. property groups). To align zUnit and current IDz working maybe it's a good idea to use variables as stated on this page. It's not our job to make that decision, but I think it could create some transparency to the customers.

2) Currently we experimented with zUnit only with z/OS-projects, but the solution that will be foreseen for this issue should also be working for local projects (e.g. Cobol source in Git).
KBC will use both remote project and local project with zUnit and IDz.
