When compiling with INITCHECK, NOPARMCHECK it correctly produces INITCHECK warnings. Using INITCHECK, PARMCHECK, the compiler may not produce some INITCHECK warnings.
Local fix
Apply PTF
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling * * programs with INITCHECK, PARMCHECK and CICS * * compiler options. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: With NOPARMCHECK, the compiler * * correctly issues warning IGYCB7311-W * * for uninitialized data items. With * * PARMCHECK, some of these same items * * are not identified with the warning * * message. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The extra code generated for PARMCHECK and EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND changed the flow of the program so that it appeared that different paths could be taken that would initialize a data item.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to not generate PARCMCHECK code for internally-generated CALL statements which allowed flow analysis for INITCHECK to work properly.
