  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.ZUnit multi-test test case where the *
  *                         2nd-Nth tests use different          *
  *                         recording data than the first        *
  *                         against the same program. The 1st    *
  *                         test would pass, the remaining tests *
  *                         would fail.                          *
  *                      02.ZUNIT RECORDING DOES NOT RECORD GSAM *
  *                         READS FOR AIBTDLI                    *

  *                         "Save all result data" is checked in *

  *                         any data in zUnit                    *
  *                      05.Enhancement - ZUnit 16.0.2 requires  *
  *                         access to the record count fields in *
  *                         BZU_TERM routine                     *
  *                      06.Enhancement to provide sample        *

  *                         calls on replay                      *
  ****************************************************************
  when the 2nd-Nth tests use different recording data than the
     first against the same program. The 1st test would pass, the
     remaining tests would fail. This no longer occurs as the
     available, unused records from the 1st test are cleared
     before starting the 2nd test (so it reads and uses only its
     own set of records from the recording data set).
  02.ZUNIT RECORDING DOES NOT RECORD GSAM READS FOR AIBTDLI
  03.Zunit - Job results in RC 16 when "Save all result data" is
     checked in the 'Run Test Case'
  04.CBLTDLI GN (getNext) does not return any data in zUnit
  05.Enhancement - ZUnit 16.0.2 requires access to the record
     count fields in BZU_TERM routine. The new field was added to
     CALL statements for all user exit points to allow them access
     to the control block.
     All ZUnit users are affected by this change as it adds a new
     control block (AZ-INFO-BLOCK) to all of the user exit points
     generated in the test case program. The users, however, will
     not see any impact if the correct version of ZUnit is used
     with the correct version of the Dynamic Test Runner.
  06.Enhancement to provide a sample CSD LIBRARY definition for
     Dynamic Test Runner, which avoids the need to update the CICS
     region JCL.
  07.BZUP249W issued for all PL/I P2P calls on replay. Logic to
     generate BZUP249W message did not account for PL/I linkage.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.Update provided.
  02.Modified length field used in moving returned data to
     recording file and changed the internal configuration table
     to show the data sent on input rather than on output.
  03.Replaced check for flag signifying the presence of the
     BZUNEXT DD statement with a macro call to search for it
     independently.
  04.The issue was caused by the LE program name extract bringing
     back a COBOL runtime name instead of the program under test,
     this caused the exit name table to be improperly built and
     causing a mismatch between it and the zUnit exit point names.
     Converted program name filter into a called routine so that
     it could be used against the LE program name extracts as
     well. Now when a program prefix to be ignored is returned,
     the program name under test will be used instead.
  05.Adds a new control block (AZ-INFO-BLOCK) to all of the user
     exit points generated in the test case program. The exit
     points will have access, but may not use, the control block
     fields.
  06.Sample definition provided.
  07.Added flag to indicate program language and bypass the
     message generation for PL/I.
