APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling with INITCHECK, NOPARMCHECK it correctly

  Using INITCHECK, PARMCHECK, the compiler may not produce some
  INITCHECK warnings.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6 compiling       *
  *                 programs with INITCHECK, PARMCHECK and CICS  *
  *                 compiler options                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: With NOPARMCHECK, the compiler          *
  *                      correctly issues warning IGYCB7311-W    *
  *                      for uninitialized data items.  With     *
  *                      PARMCHECK, some of these same items     *
  *                      are                                     *
  *                      not identified with the warning msg.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Install provided PTF and recompile           *
  ****************************************************************
  The extra code generated for PARMCHECK and EXEC CICS HANDLE
  ABEND changed the flow of the program so that it appeared that
  different paths could be taken that would initialize a data
  item.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was changed to not generate PARCMCHECK code for
  internally-generated CALL statements which allowed flow
  analysis
  for INITCHECK to work properly.
  

Temporary fix
