Limitations

Be aware of limitations that apply to Host-based code review

  • Limitation: The z/OS® code review application stops if it encounters a data set member that has a nonstandard name. An example of such a name is one beginning with a period (.) or a digit. The application ends its processing and writes the error message CRRZW0002E to the workspace log.

    To avoid this situation, use standard names for PDS members.

  • Limitation: The z/OS code review application does not support calls to Eclipse graphical user interface methods, or to other programs that call them.

    The z/OS code review application runs on a version of Eclipse that does not include a graphical user interface.

  • Limitation: The z/OS code review application does not generate HTML or PDF reports.

    To work around this situation, use the results in the output data files.

  • JCL Code Review has limitations to how much code can be processed based on one of the following conditions:
    • The JVM used to run the job
    • The JVM parameters set such as -Xmx for maximum heap
    • The size of the members in the library or libraries
    • The number of members in the library or libraries.
      Note: The member is limited between 400 to 1000 in one library depending on the size of the members.
