Closed as program error.
Error description
The DWARF debug information in a program object does not appear to be correct for 88-level items with trailing spaces. The program executes correctly, but Debug Tool is consequently unable to determine if the test in an IF statement against the 88-level item is true or false. Debug Tool shows an incorrect boolean value for field with trailing spaces.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2, compiling * * and debugging programs with Debug Tool, * * where the programs being debugged contain * * level 88 items associated with an * * alphanumeric, or numeric edited, * * conditional variable, and where the value * * of the level 88 item is specified using a * * figurative constant. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect Debug Tool behavior: * * Debug Tool may sometimes report that * * the level 88 item is true instead of * * false, and vice versa. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The compiler was sometimes generating incorrect DWARF debug information for condition names defined with figurative constants.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to generate correct DWARF debug information for condition names defined with figurative constants.
