E-News Name Change
=============================================

If you are a subscriber to this e-newsletter,
you probably noticed that something has
changed. It has. We have changed the name of
this electronic newsletter from ETC Newsletter
on Testing & COBOL to TestIT Newsletter, because
TestIT is the family name of CA's world-class
testing and COBOL solutions. So, welcome to the
*TestIT Newsletter*. We hope you find the contents
timely and valuable!

CA Rescue Program
=============================================

CA has launched an aggressive Rescue Program
to offer clients alternate industry-standard
OS/390 solutions with world-class support at
a price you can afford. Our solutions replace
solutions from vendors such as Compuware, BMC,
and Candle, providing the same - or better -
functionality with significant savings.

Your organization is already benefiting from
some of the robust CA testing tools. Take
this opportunity to investigate how you can
replace testing tools from other vendors with
the comparable CA solution. Replacement includes
education, training, and services to help you
quickly implement the new solutions in your
environment.

To schedule a free Conversion Analysis, please
contact us at 800-454-4166 or submit the
Conversion Analysis Request Form at
http://www.ca.com/solutions/os390/ims/rescue.htm.
A Rescue Program Representative will contact
you to set up a date and time for your analysis.

=============================================
Coming Soon! CA-SymDump/Batch & CA-SymDump/System
=============================================

If you are a user of CA-Intertest for CICS, you
may already be familiar with CA-Symdump for CICS.
CA-Symdump for CICS is a comprehensive online
facility that lets you analyze CICS transaction
dumps symbolically and use the power of
CA-Intertest to resolve problems. The
CA-Intertest and CA-Symdump for CICS combination
has helped many CICS developers bridge the gap
between testing and production problem resolution.

In response to client requests, we have now have
similar capabilities for batch and system dumps.
Even experienced programmers and systems
programmers can find dump reading time consuming
and difficult and it is often tough to map
storage to the original source code.
CA-Symdump/Batch and CA-Symdump/System bring
the powers of CA-Symdump to the batch and system
environments, providing online dump management,
viewing, and problem resolution assistance that
will make your job easier.

For further information, please attend session
ADT14PN on Wednesday, April 11th, from 3:15-4:15
at CA-World, visit us at the CA-World resource
center for a demo, or if you are not attending
CA-World, contact your local CA Client Relationship
Manager.
