Re: Linkage missing in Debug (RDi7.1)

Hi Mark,

Is LK01-TABLE referenced anywhere in your source ? ILE COBOL compiler by
default does not generate information for unreferenced data.
If this is the case, try to specify *UNREF when you compile the source.

Thanks,

subject: [WDSCI-L] Linkage missing in Debug (RDi7.1)

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble trying to find out what is being passed into an ILE
Cobol using SEP debug.

The parameters are as follows;

LINKAGE SECTION.

01 LK01-SELECTION-FIELDS.
05 LK01-COUNT PIC 9(2) BINARY.
05 LK01-TABLE PIC X(36304).
01 LK01-SELECTION-SEQ PIC S9(9) COMP-3.

PROCEDURE DIVISION USING LK01-SELECTION-FIELDS
LK01-SELECTION-SEQ.

But in the variables in debug only LK01-COUNT is being shown under
LK01-SELECTION-FIELDS. LK01-TABLE does not appear in the variable list at
all.

If I try to monitor expression LK01-SELECTION-FIELDS again only LK01-COUNT
is shown under the 01 level. If I try to monitor expression LK01-TABLE I
get CPF7E12 Identifier does not exists error message.

Can anyone explain or help with ideas on how to find out the content of
LK01-TABLE?
