Closed as program error.
Error description
When source contains either CICS or DB2 statements, the z/OS Debug Tool would not start and a STO abend occurs (U4088/0C7). The debugger development team was able to identify the problem with the NUMBER compiler option causing more .debug_srcattr entries than the number of expanded source lines as well as incorrect mapping between the line number and alt_lineno.
Local fix
Compile with NONUMBER
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V6.1 who * * compile programs with TEST and NUMBER and * * either CICS or SQL compiler options * * programs that contain either CICS or DB2 * * statements and then try to debug these * * programs using IBM z/OS Debug Tool. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The z/OS Debug Tool would not start * * and a STO abend occurs (U4088/0C7). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was putting incorrect line numbers in the debugging information due to counting statements generated for CICS or SQL as regular COBOL statements.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to only count COBOL statements that show in the debug view for purposes of numbering the lines in debug information.
