MFUFMSGZ

Signifies that a mainframe test case running under the Micro Focus Unit Testing Framework has failed, and outputs a null-terminated message to the test report.

Syntax:

call "MFUFMSGZ" using by reference msg                            
end-call.

Parameters:

msg: pic x(n)

On Entry:

msg: The message that is used in the test report output.

On Exit:

None.

Example:

call "MFUFMSGZ" using
                       by reference z"Condition 6 has failed."                       
end-call.

Comments:

Use this library routine (in place of MFU_ASSERT_FAIL_Z) when your test case uses a mainframe dialect. Mainframe dialects such as ENTCOBOL restrict the names of program-ids and entry points to 8 characters or less, hence the shorter routine name.

The unit testing library routines use the mfunit_prototype.cpy copybook for call prototyping. If required, it is available from the cpylib directory of your product installation directory. Another of the unit testing copybooks (mfunit.cpy) contains a level-78 constant, MFU-ASSERT-FAIL, which you can use in your programs to invoke this library routine.
