PH00445: INDEX NAME DEFINED IN LINKAGE SECTION IGNORED BY INITCHECK PROCESSING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Index name defined in linkage section ignored by INITCHECK
  processing.
  
  It is normal for data items in the linkage section to be
  ignored for INITCHECK processing, but the compiler should check
  for index names

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling     *
  *                 programs with the INITCHECK compiler option  *
  *                 where the program contains index names       *
  *                 defined in the linkage section.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect compiler messages: The        *
  *                      compiler will not report any cases of   *
  *                      an index name defined in the linkage    *
  *                      section being used before it is set.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  For INITCHECK processing, items defined in the linkage section
  are typically ignored. However, since index names defined in
  the linkage section actually reside in working storage, they
  should be subject to INITCHECK processing.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to ensure that index names defined in
  the linkage section are subject to INITCHECK processing.
