PH59279: IDZ ZUNIT - ADDING NEW WORKING STORAGE ITEMS AFTER GENERATING A TEST CASE GIVES ERROR CRRZT0031E

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v15.0.6, zUnit with CICS.  Problem
  recreate steps:
  
  1) Generate and successfully run a zUnit CICS test case. Save
  it.
  2) Modify the source program by adding a new Working Storage
  variable.
  3) Compile the new program.
  4) Open saved test case.
  5) Click Add Test button to add a new test then click Generate.
  6) When it is finished generating the new test case, select
  Generate, Build, and run test case.
  
  
  Expected result:  Test cases should run without error since the
  addition of the new Working Storage variable(s) should have no
  impact on the previously saved test case.
  
  Actual Result:  An error occurred while generating the test
  case.  Reason:  CRRZT0031E DFHCOMMAREA of ... does not match
  parameter DFHCOMMAREA
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When parameters are modified in test target source after
  Create/modify test case, ZUnit will migrate the configuration to
   fit the modified parameters.
  In this case if Input or expected data are set, data files in
  the configuration needs to be migrated too.
  However, ZUnit does not detect necessity of data migration so
  user does not have a chance to update data. It would cause data
  item id mismatch during test case program generation.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix ZUnit to detect necessity of data migration and put dirty
  mark ("*") for the ZUnit editor, at ZUnit editor opening time.
  
  User can then save the editor to update data in the
  configuration.
