Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply and great news about it supporting COBOL.
I have emailed the details to our support people, who are the only ones that can raise a PMR. I will let you know the number when I get it. I have included the full code coverage report so hopefully you have all the information you need.
Best regards,
Mark

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 )
Mike.

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
1
1
100%
MPOZCPL1-FILE_Declarative
0

0%
MPM7REL1-FILE_Declarative
0
6
0%
MPAVREL1-FILE_Declarative
0
9
0%
MPARREL1-FILE_Declarative
0
9
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.
