PM53975: Code coverage in RDz 8.03 not show correct results

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running a main program calling sub programs, the coverage
  code report should reflect the correct executed/unexecuted
  results.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• COBOL statically linked modules are not identified until after
  they are called.  This is too late for the Code Coverage feature
  to be able to identify executable statements.  As a result these
  statements were missed and not properly accounted for in the
  results.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Code Coverage feature changed the way it listens for loaded
  modules and therefore can detect statically linked modules early
  enough to identify executable statements.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.0.3.2 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
