Problem:

WHen using Test Coverage within Mainframe Express, and trying to create the output reports, the error message "Unable to monitor the test coverage reporting facility" is displayed.

Additional information reported is...

"An error may have occurred during the report generation. Please see the file "MFEDEBUG.LOG" to determine if an error has occurred."

Resolution:

Problem was that once the configuration file had been created / saved, the user did not highlight the .TCF file and use the SET AS ACTIVE option button.

With out using this option, the Test Coverage will not record any data, and then when the report is generated, the default file (BROWSE.TCZ) is used.  

As it doesn't exist, the message TC010S Unable to open file BROWSE.TCZ, is displayed on the TESTCOVER tab of the project view.

To rectify the problem, SET AS ACTIVE option has to be used, and the application run again, before generating the report.
