Error description
Wrong warnings from INITCHECK.
Local fix
Ignore incorrect messages
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling * * programs with INITCHECK. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler may incorrectly produce, or * * not produce, message "MSGIGYCB7311-W * * The data item 'XXXXXXX' may be used at * * this statement before it is set.". It * * is more likely to get an incorrect * * IGYCB7311-W message with * * INITCHECK(STRICT), and more likely to * * not get an IGYCB7311-W message when a * * data item isn't initialized with * * INITCHECK(LAX), but it's possible to * * both get an incorrect message or not * * get an expected message with both * * INITCHECK(STRICT) and INITCHECK(LAX). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF * **************************************************************** The compiler wasn't correctly initializing part of its internal state when finding information about the PERFORMs in a program as part of the INITCHECK analysis, leading INTICHECK analysis to be done without the knowledge of which data items were initialized due to each PERFORM statement.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was fixed to correctly initialize its state, analyzing and using the information about which data items were initialized due to each PERFORM statement during INITCHECK analysis.
