I have to say in shame that I never use the SDA testing functions.  I always
use a simple RPG stub program that populates the screen with dummy data.

exsr load
exsr loadmsg
write msg
exfmt rcd
loop or LR

I use this stub as the basis of the actual program I will eventually need
anyway, so I don't find that I am losing any ground going this route.
