TESTAUTH command z/OS TSO/E System Programming Command Reference SA32-0974-00 |

Use the TESTAUTH command to test an authorized program. Most of the functions of the TEST command that are available for testing an unauthorized program are also available through the TESTAUTH command for testing an authorized program. (See z/OS TSO/E Command Reference for detailed information.) However, the TESTAUTH command does not support:
In addition, do not use the TESTAUTH command to:
Restriction: TESTAUTH allows a user to test AMODE 24 or AMODE 31 programs. Testing programs with any other AMODE will have unpredictable results. To use TESTAUTH to test a program, ensure that you load the program from an APF-authorized library. The system loads the program above or below 16 MB in virtual storage based on the program's RMODE attribute. The system uses the specified data set (PDS) as a TASKLIB for the program and initializes registers 2 through 12 to X'FFFFFFFF' to allow you to see which registers the program alters. When you are testing a program, the program can invoke other load modules, if they are members of the same PDS. The services by which one member can invoke another in the same PDS include LINK, LOAD, XCTL, and ATTACH. If the program you are testing attempts to LOAD, LINK, XCTL, or ATTACH another module, the system uses the following search order sequence:
If the module does not reside in any of those libraries, the system cannot find it. To avoid that situation, bring the module into virtual storage by using the LOAD subcommand of TESTAUTH. All TESTAUTH subcommands are effective only in the HOME address space. The syntax of the TESTAUTH command is:
When using the TESTAUTH command, you can use:
