Program XAPGMTST
Simple COBOL program that takes input parameters and return them. It generates a time, date and some hardcoded fields. The primary use of the program is to show a complex data structure with most of the field types supported by Functional Test. The structure includes a pointer. The pointer points to data structure also defined in the linkage section. This structure is not part of the call area, and it is setup when adding the component to the repository after one has extracted the data definitions from the web page. Below is a screen dump of the data structure where it can be seen that the pointer field areapointer uses the area areaforpointer, and that this area is not included (see the Include column) in the call area.
