Currently zUnit with IDZ 14.2.2 does not support this case: the list of files are opened in other programs..

We have tested zUnit on simple standalone batch loads however we are now trying to create test cases for individual programs (csects) with a load module. We are getting file open errors in the case where the main program has the open for the file, then call a submodule we want to test. If we build a test case on that submodule, the files it needs are not yet opened and it does not have the FD. The test fails on a file open. zUnit determines the list of files it needs to open by scanning the COBOL program. Can zUnit determine which files it needs to allocate, if not the developer needs ability to manually add the DD for the file.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our clients, so your input is always very important to us.

    Your request is currently inline with our IBM Test Accelerator for Z product strategy and we have transferred this (here) to IBM Test Accelerator for Z.
