Modification and testing

HLASM Toolkit Feature User's Guide
GC26-8710-10

After you have used the Disassembler, ASMXREF, and ASMPUT components to determine the needed modifications, you can add structured programming macros to simplify the coding and logic of the program.

You can then test the updated code using the rich and flexible features of the Interactive Debug Facility. After each assembly/debug cycle, you can further modify the source code, repeating the process until the completed application is accepted for installation in a production library. You can useEnhanced SuperC to compare the original source with the modified source, checking that all references to date have been correctly modified.
