Support EXEC CICS LOADAdd link to Cobol Program objects when they are called by the "EXEC CICS LOAD" statement. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Mainframe+-+Analysis+results#MainframeAnalysisresults-LinkstoCobolProgramobjects.

1.2.0-alpha2

Resolved Issues

Customer Ticket IdDetails
43292Fixes an issue causing missing links between JCL and Cobol objects.

Other Updates

Details
Add two new radio toggle options (available in CAST Console in the "Data to generate" section under Config > Mainframe): "Save Cobol literal" and "Save Cobol Conditional test" - enabling these options will ensure that this type of data is saved during the analysis. By default these options are disabled and require AIP Core ≥ 8.3.54 and Console ≥ 2.10. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Mainframe+-+Analysis+configuration#MainframeAnalysisconfiguration-CASTConsole.
Add one new radio toggle option (available in CAST Console in the "Data to generate" section under Config > Mainframe): "Save only Referenced Data" - this option is enabled by default and ensures that Cobol data in copybooks within a Cobol program will be saved only if it is referenced (used) by other objects. If disabled, all Cobol data in copybooks within a Cobol program is saved regardless of whether it is referenced or not. This option requires AIP Core ≥ 8.3.54 and Console ≥ 2.10. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/TECHNOS/Mainframe+-+Analysis+configuration#MainframeAnalysisconfiguration-CASTConsole.
