Error description
Missing Local Variables in CEEDUMP for programs in LLA/VLF managed libraries.
Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION: No
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 and later * * releases compiling programs with * * TEST(NOSEPARATE) option and running * * the programs which generate CEEDUMP. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The line numbers in the traceback and * * COBOL variable section are missing * * in CEEDUMP. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When COBOL programs compiled with option TEST(NOSEPARATE) are executed from LLA and VLF managed libraries, and the programs are staged to VLF, the embedded DWARF diagnostic information cannot be extracted from the programs. This causes line numbers in the traceback and COBOL variable section to be missing in CEEDUMP. COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K COB0603T/K
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
NEW FUNCTION. Support has been added to access Dwarf information when the COBOL program is compiled with TEST(NOSEPARATE), and is executed from LLA and VLF managed libraries with the loaded program being staged to VLF. In this case, JCL setup requires the use of a new IGZLOAD DD, or the STEPLIB DD, or both to help specify the original location of the program. New information has been added to the COBOL Programming Guide, under TEST option of the Chapter on Compiler options, to describe the new usage of IGZLOAD and STEPLIB. Also refer to the technical note for new diagnostic messages. Diagnostic messages in CEEDUMPs for IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/5692838
