Error description
With NOTEST(DWARF,SOURCE) in V6, some xref info that is needed is not present in the DWARF data. Specifically: 1) DW_AT_IBM_xref_coord in DW_TAG_variable DIE. 2) .debug_xref section. FA is deprecated by excluding data fields in the event detail and COBOL Explorer is no longer functional. This problem does not exist with TEST(DWARF,SOURCE) in V6.
Local fix
Compile with TEST(DWARF).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 who compile * * with the NOTEST(DWARF) compiler option and * * try to use XREF information from the DWARF * * debugging data (in particular, Fault * * Analyzer needs this info). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There is no XREF information in the * * DWARF debugging data with * * NOTEST(DWARF), unlike with TEST(DWARF). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided PTF and recompile. * **************************************************************** When the NOTEST(DWARF) option was added to COBOL V6.2, the compiler did not add ALL of the debugging data to the DWARF output.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to put XREF information out in the DWARF debugging data with NOTEST(DWARF). In addition, some improved compile time optimization was incidentally made for customers who compile with TEST(NODWARF).
