Hi Mark,
I asked the developers and they assure me that code coverage does support
COBOL. If some procedures are in another program or service program, you
might need to explicitly add the secondary program or service program from
the launch configuration dialog. If everything is in one big program then
we would need a test case to diagnose and understand the issue (i.e. a
PMR )

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Code Coverage
Sent by: "WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi guys,
I have just tried to use the code coverage for the first time on a quite
complicated data conversion program written in SQL ILE COBOL and I am very
perplexed with the results I got back. This may just be my lack of
knowledge of code coverage but the first question is should code coverage
work on SQL ILE COBOL programs or has COBOL be left behind again?
Procedure Name[cid:image001.gif@01CFBD19.349A4030]
Covered Lines
Total Lines
%Coverage
PRAOCPP-FILE_Declarative
0
722
0%
PCV0244

100%
MPOZCPL1-FILE_Declarative

0%
MPAVREL1-FILE_Declarative

0%
MPARREL1-FILE_Declarative

0%
The reason the results perplex me is because this program is 2.5k+ lines of
procedure division code and the report shows 772 lines of code in one of my
declarative sections and only 1 line of code in my program, PCV0244!
In the source listing included in the report the only piece of green (i.e.
indicated as code executed, to my understanding) is against the last of the
program parameters on the PROCEDURE DIVISION statement. I assume this is
because it is the program entry point, the same as where you start when you
debug. As I know that the program ran to completion, producing a lot
converted data, the majority of the code must have been executed.
So, if code coverage should work for SQL ILE COBOL, why does the report
show none of the code executed?
This would be such a fantastic tool for proving to my boss, and the
auditors, that the program has been tested properly, if I could get it to
work.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
