Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling     *
  *                 with TEST and using IBM Debug for z/OS to    *
  *                 monitor condition name values.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect output seen in debugger       *
  *                      monitor when using WHEN SET TO FALSE    *
  *                      in the COBOL program.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF and recompile.        *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was putting both TRUE and FALSE literal values in
  the debug information, which confused the debugger when trying
  to figure out if the condition name was TRUE or FALSE.
  
  DEBUGGER/K
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was changed to only put TRUE values in the
  debugging information.
