PH50296: NEW FUNCTION: Option CONDCOMP(SKIPSOURCE) will exclude lines in false conditional compilation branches from source listing

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The compiler option CONDCOMP(SKIPSOURCE) is provided to exclude
  lines of code in false conditional compilation branches from the
  source listing. CONDCOMP(NOSKIPSOURCE) is the default, which
  continues the prior behavior of showing excluded lines as
  comments.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs with conditional compilation        *
  *                 directives who want lines of code in false   *
  *                 conditional compilation branches to be       *
  *                 excluded from the compiler listing.          *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New function: A new option,             *
  *                      CONDCOMP(SKIPSOURCE|NOSKIPSOURCE), is   *
  *                      provided to give users a way to exclude *

  *                      branches from the compiler listing      *
  *                      instead of appearing as commented out   *

  *                      The default is CONDCOMP(NOSKIPSOURCE)   *
  *                      which preserves existing behaviour.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  The design of conditional compilation had false branches of code
  visible as commented out in the listing by default. No option
  was given to omit these compiled out lines from the listing.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The compiler was updated to provide the
  CONDCOMP(SKIPSOURCE|NOSKIPSOURCE) option. This option allows
  users to control the inclusion/omission of compiled out lines of
  code in the listing.

  addition of the new CONDCOMP option, please refer to the
