PI98514: WITH PARMCHECK AND RULES(NOUNREFSOURCE) OR RULES(NOUNREFALL), THE COMPILER INCORRECTLY ISSUES IGYSC2262-W FOR ---END_W-S---

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With the PARMCHECK compiler option and RULES(NOUNREFSOURCE) or
  RULES(NOUNREFALL), the compiler incorrectly issues warning:
  
  IGYSC2262-W   **RULES(NOUNREFSOURCE)** No references to
                "---End_W-S---", nor any of its subordinates if
                "---End_W-S---" is a group item, were found in the
                program.
  
  The PARMCHECK option tells the compiler to generate an extra
  data item following the last item in WORKING-STORAGE. This
  "buffer" data item is then used at run time to check whether a
  called subprogram corrupted data beyond the end of
  WORKING-STORAGE.  By design, this buffer data item is called
  "---End_W-S---" and is generated by the compiler.  The compiler
  should never warn about this symbol.

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When the RULES(NOUNREFSOURCE) or RULES(NOUNREFALL)compiler
  option is specified along with the PARMCHECK option, the
  compiler is issuing message IGYSC2262-W for unreferenced symbol
  "---End_W-S---".  This symbol is used internally by PARMCHECK
  to help the compiler detect memory overruns, and is not
  expected to be "referenced".
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler is changed to ignore the PARMCHECK symbol
  "---End_W-S---", during checking for unreferenced symbols.
