Error description

  • IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz - v15.0.1 Software Analyzer:
Using the Halstead Metrics rules, Program vocabulary size, the
threshold values > 999 vanishes after apply and close.

The higher value can be set but the result is not usable to know
what values the programs are really checked.

From Software Analyzer Configuration, create a ruleset and
select
COBOL Software Metrics â “ Halstead Metrics â “ Program
vocabulary size

. There, you can tick-mark  'Analyze the threshold' and set the
Maximum program vocabulary allowed in a program, at 9000

. Press Apply and Close

But when you go to the same place again, the tick-mark and the
value are gone.

If you Export the file via the Export button into a .dot file,
the Threshold is there:
metrics.cobol.rules.ProgramVocabulary
metrics.cobol.rules.ProgramVocabulary.variable.ABBREVIATION,HPVO
C
metrics.cobol.rules.ProgramVocabulary.variable.MAX_PROGRAM_VOCAB
ULARY_IN_FILE,9,000
