APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • SUPPRESS option of the COPY statement should not lead to
including that copybook, or else each COPY with SUPPRESS would
lead in most cases to "missing include file" error messages
which is at least misleading, pointing the user who creates the
project to look-up for unnecessary copybooks. Other syntax
errors or logical/analysis flaws can also occur only because we
ignore this option. Even if a COBOL copybook exists and compiles
 successfully, the analysis would show some code which actually
is not active (should not have been analysed at all).

Local fix

  • N/A

Problem summary

  • SUPPRESS option of COPY statements was ignored, meaning the
copybook expansion, parsing and analysis took place anyway, in
this case including a BMS instead of a copybook (as it was
found in the search paths). Normally, on Mainframe should be no
issue in this case, because SUPPRESS is taken into account.

Problem conclusion

  • Solution:
Handle SUPPRESS option correctly (if the option is present, the
target file of the COPY statement is not included / expanded
anymore).

Temporary fix
