Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling and  *
    *                 debugging programs with the TEST option in   *
    *                 effect and the program contains UPSI         *
    *                 switches.                                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid DWARF data generated by the     *
    *                      compiler.                               *

    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler was generating incorrect DWARF data for UPSI
    switches and this could cause problems when debugging the
    program with IBM Debug Tool.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to generate correct DWARF debug data
    for UPSI switches.
