Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 who are * * using compiler option TEST(SEPARATE) to * * generate debug information in a separate * * debug file. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NEW FUNCTION: Currently when the * * TEST(SEPARATE) compilation option is * * in effect, the compiler generates * * debug (DWARF) information in a * * separate dataset. This dataset is * * specified in the SYSDEBUG DD used * * during compilation. This debug * * dataset name is not kept anywhere * * after compilation. During program * * execution when debug information is * * needed (e.g. when using the debugger) * * the user has to specify this dataset * * name. This can be done, for example, * * using the COBOL Debug File User EXIT. * * Keeping the debug dataset name in the * * program object can improve debug * * information usability. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** NEW FUNCTION: A new suboption, DSNAME, have been added to the existing SEPARATE suboption of the TEST compiler option. NODSNAME is the default. If TEST(SEPARATE(NODSNAME)) is in effect, the current behavior of TEST(SEPARATE) is supported. If TEST(SEPARATE(DSNAME)) is in effect, the compiler stores the SYSDEBUG dataset name into the program object. (This is similar to the behaviour of COBOL V4.2 and previous COBOL compilers.) If the COBOL Debug File User EXIT is not used during execution time, this stored dataset name would be used to access debug information. This APAR provides runtime library support for the new SEPARATE(DSNAME) suboption of the TEST compiler option. COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
The runtime has been updated to support the new DSNAME suboption of the SEPARATE suboption.
