Issue/Introduction
The InterTest Batch cannot match the symbolic file in the PROTSYM file with the executed load module name because they are different.
Environment
Z/OS
Cause
The PROGRAM ID name needs to match with the PROTSYM file member name.
Resolution
Copied the InterTest Batch source code CAMRCOBB as ABCDCOBB and changed the PROGRAM ID as ABCDCOBB.
And then program ABCDCOBB compiled and link edited as WXYZCOBB. So the load library has the WXYZCOBB load module.
Also, the compile listing file was post-processed with IN25COB2 as ABCDCOBB, which it matched with the PROGRAM ID name.
InterTest Batch option U.1 will shows as
------------- CA-InterTest Batch PROTSYM Member Selection ---------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROTSYM Dsname ===> 'AD1L1.TT11.GA.PROTSYM'

**************************** TOP OF DATA ********************************
ABCDCOBB 12/04/2025 09:34:04 99 COBOL 6.3
And select the member; then you should be able to match the PROTSYM member name and PROGRAM ID name.
