Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5 and later        *
    *                 releases running programs compiled with      *
    *                 NOTEST option and NODWARF suboption that     *
    *                 generate CEEDUMP information.                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An incorrect message is being printed   *
    *                      in a CEEDUMP generated from a COBOL     *
    *                      program compiled with NOTEST option     *
    *                      and NODWARF suboption.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Install the provided PTF.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    The actual message being printed in the CEEDUMP (incorrect):
    
    "<PROG NAME> was not compiled with the SYM
    suboption of the TEST option. A formatted variable
    dump cannot be produced."

Problem conclusion

  • The problem in the COBOL Runtime has been corrected.
    The problem was resolved by introducing a new message
    in COBOL runtime routine for generating a CEEDUMP.
    
    New correct message printed in the CEEDUMP (correct):
    
    "<PROG NAME> was compiled with
    NOTEST(NODWARF) or equivalent. A formatted
    variable dump cannot be produced."
    
    For example, in CEEDUMP ...
    
    Local Variables:
       X1 was compiled with NOTEST(NODWARF) or equivalent. A
       formatted variable dump cannot be produced.
    
       DSA for X1: ...
       WSA for X1: ...
       RENT STATIC (Initial HEAP) for X1: ...
       PROGRAM STATIC (WSA24, Data cell, ...
