APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In Rational Developer for System z (RDz) 9.1.1, when you debug a
  COBOL program compiled with Enterprise COBOL Compiler version
  5.2 with ARCH(8) option or higher, stepping into the body of an
  IF statement may be skipped.
  

Local fix

• 1) Apply the COBOL Compiler 5.2 APAR PI50690 and upgrade to
  Rational Developer for System z (RDz) version 9.5.0 or
  2) Compiler the COBOL program with ARCH(7) or lower compiler
  option and use with RDz 9.1.x debugger.
  

Problem summary

• There are some stepping problems that are causing us to take the
  wrong branch on the IF statement.
  

Problem conclusion
