MFUFMSG

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

Syntax:

call "MFUFMSG" using by reference msg
                             by value msg-len
end-call.

Parameters:

msg
pic x(n)
msg-len
binary-long

On Entry:

msg
The message that is used in the test report output.
msg-len
The length of the message.

On Exit:

None.

Example:

call "MFUFMSG" using
                       by reference "Condition 4 has failed."
                       by value 23
end-call.

Comments:

Use this library routine (in place of MFU_ASSERT_FAIL) 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.
