    ****************************************************************
    When the INITCHECK option was in effect the compiler was
    considering some unreferenced, storage-owning data items as
    candidates for use-before-set analysis even though the STGOPT
    option was in effect.  This lead to some inconsistent
    processing in our table initialization code generator.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to not consider unreferenced
    storage-owning data items as candidates for use-before-set
    analysis when the STGOPT option is in effect.
