Use the EQUATE subcommand to add a symbol to the symbol table of the module being tested. This subcommand allows you to establish a new symbol that you can use to refer to an address or override an existing symbol to reflect a new address or new attributes. If no symbol table exists, one is created and the specified name is added to it. A symbol within DSECT can be accessed if the DSECT name is defined using the EQUATE subcommand. You can also modify the data attributes (type, length, and multiplicity); use the EQUATE subcommand to modify attributes of existing equated symbols. The DROP subcommand removes symbols added by the EQUATE subcommand. Symbols established by the EQUATE subcommand are defined for the duration of the TEST session only.
