Closed as program error.
Error description
Under COBOL V5.1, code dropped by the COBOL compiler is not flagged via IGYCB7300-W as it was in previous releases. The symtoms of this APAR (missing IGYCB7300-W message) is the same symptom described in APAR PI25796, but the root cause can vary from APAR PI25796. This APAR addresses a secondary root cause of the missing IGYCB7300-W messages, that can manifest itself under OPT(0/1/2). Note that APAR PI25796 only occurs at OPT(1/2).

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiling * * COBOL programs that have unreachable code at * * the end of a program. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IGYCB7300-W messages were not issued * * for unreachable code at the end of a * * program eliminated by the compiler. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service. * * * **************************************************************** The Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiler was not reporting unreachable code in some cases because it was tracking the removal of unreachable code at a more coarse level than line-by-line.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was fixed to track unreachable code on a line-by-line basis, enabling the compiler to report cases it previously did not.
