TEST—QUALIFY subcommand operands
- address
- specifies the base location to be used in determining the absolute
address for relative addresses only. It does not affect symbolic
addressing. You can specify address as:
- An absolute address
- A symbolic address
- A relative address
- An indirect address
- An address expression
- A module name and entry name (separated by a period)
- An entry name (preceded by a period).
- module_name[.entry_name]
- specifies the name by which a load module is known, and optionally, an externally referable name within a module. If only a module is specified, the main entry point in the module will be supplied.
- TCB(address)
- specifies the address of a task control block (TCB). This operand is necessary when programs of the same name are assigned to two or more subtasks and you must establish uniquely which one is to be qualified.
Note: When using QUALIFY in combination with other subcommands
of TEST (with relative addressing) for routines such as user exit
routines, validity check routines, and subtasking, the load module
or CSECT indicated might differ from the one that was qualified.
This is due to system control processing of automatic qualification.
