Closed as program error.
Error description
The cobol.dbg fileset contains expression evaluator code so that client's can use the IBM Debugger along with COBOL programs. So this fileset shouldn't pre-req the compiler.
Local fix
cobol.dbg.4.1.1.0 does not pre-req the compiler and can be installed without the compiler.
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: COBOL users who try to install just the cobol.dbg fileset without the COBOL compiler installed will be affected by this issue. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The cobol.dbg fileset pre-reqs the cobol.cmp fileset at installation time. Clients who did not have the COBOL ocmpiler installed but wanted to use the debugger to debug COBOL programs were not able too.
Problem conclusion
CONCLUSION: The compiler pre-req has been removed now when trying to install the cobol.dbg fileset.
Temporary fix
