Closed as program error.
Error description
A COPY book is brought into a COBOL program via COPY REPLACING statement, which replaces multiple lines of the COPY book with blanks. The COBOL wcode calculates lines based on original length of COPY book, not modified length.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling and * * debugging programs under the * * following conditions: * * 1) The NONUMBER compiler option is in * * effect. * * 2) The programs contain a REPLACE statement * * or a COPY statement with the REPLACING * * phrase and there is at least one case where * * a group of COBOL source lines is replaced * * with a smaller group of COBOL source lines. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The automonitoring of COBOL data items * * in IBM Debug Tool does not work * * properly for some data items. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was generating line mapping information for the debugger assuming an unbroken range of line numbers in the program whenever the NONUMBER compiler option is in effect. However, this is not always true when the program contains REPLACE statements or COPY statements with the REPLACING phrase.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to ensure that line mapping information passed to the debugger does not assume an unbroken range of line numbers in the program when the NONUMBER compiler option is in effect.
