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' and ‘Entsorger' programs (supply and return). So we have the linkage section and with the call of the assembler program we get the adresses of the
Linkage items.

So we tried to add the linkage items to the Procedure using… but this didn't work. I guess zUnit gets the address of those items at the beginning
of the program and then monitors this address space. So if the address behind the item changes after calling the program, zUnit still monitors the
old address and there is nothing interesting.
