PH67097: TEST ACCELERATOR FOR Z 1.0.2.3 CODE COVERAGE REPORT FAILS WHEN UNINITIALIZED FILLER AREA IS REPORTED AS A MISMATCH DURING REPLAY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running a Unit Test, with a recording made against a
  program that has a large data structure, code coverage reports
  are not properly generated.  The issue occurs with the FILLER
  area of the uninitialized data structure during a  replay does
  not match the same area in the original recording.   It appears
  that changing the elementary FILLER data item to a non-FILLER
  name allows code coverage to run properly.  However, that is
  just coincidence as there is no compiler differences based on
  name.  The solution is to provide the Language Environment (LE)
  option STORAGE, to initialize the data structure.
