PH66513: USING PARMCHECK BAD DWARF DEBUG DATA GENERATED. INSPLOG ITEM NAMES ARE GIVEN INCORRECT SHIFT CODES AND ARE DISPLAYED INCORRECTLY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Bad DWARF debug data generated by the compiler.  INSPLOG item
  names are given incorrect shift codes and cannot be displayed
  correctly. This happens when compiling with PARMCHECK and using
  the debugger in batch mode to issue LIST commands
  

Local fix

• Do not compile with the PARMCHECK option.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling      *
  *                 programs with the PARMCHECK compiler option  *
  *                 in effect and then debugging those programs  *
  *                 with the IBM Debug for z/OS debugger.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Bad DWARF debug data generated by the   *
  *                      compiler. An example symptom of that is *
  *                      when using the debugger in batch mode   *
  *                      to issue LIST commands, INSPLOG item    *
  *                      names are given incorrect shift codes   *
  *                      and cannot be displayed correctly.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF                   *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler generated incorrect DWARF information for a special
  memory wall symbol added to the end of the working-storage
  section due to use of the PARMCHECK compiler option.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to generate correct DWARF information
  for the special memory wall symbol added to the end of the
  working-storage section due to use of the PARMCHECK compiler
  option.
