Error description

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:  When the documented abbreviations for the
    INLINE or NOINLINE compiler options, INL or NOINL are specified,
    messages such as  
    "IGYOS4003-E Invalid option "IL" was found
    and discarded." will be produced.
    
    ANALYSIS:
    USERS AFFECTED: All users of the Enterprise COBOL V6 compiler
    who are attempting to use the abbreviated versions of the INLINE
    or NOINLINE compiler options INL or NOINL, as documented in the
    Programming Guide.
    

Local fix

  • BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION:
    WORKAROUND/CIRCUMVENTION: 
    For programs that require the INLINE
    or NOINLINE option
    only specify the full option name and avoid
    the abbreviations, for now.

    ****************************************************************
    The code in the compiler option parser was only supporting
    IL and NOIL as abbreviations for the INLINE and NOINLINE
    compiler options, even though the Programming Guide
    states that INL and NOINL are the supported
    abbreviations.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The parser was changed so that it now supports INL and
    NOINL as valid abbreviations for the INLINE and NOINLINE
    compiler options.
