Log messages

Mainframe.01


Identifier	Mainframe.01
Message	A potential recursive copybook ‘<COPYBOOK_NAME>’ inclusion has been found.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The COBOL analyzer detected a potential recursive copybook inclusion (COPY directive) in the source code. Meaning that a copybook A refers to a copybook B that refers to copybook A.
User Action	Check if the copybooks involved in the recursive reference are the expected source files. If not, then replace them by the proper files or remove the file that creates the recursive reference.

Mainframe.02

Identifier	Mainframe.02
Message	Cannot resolve Copybook .
Severity	Warning
Explanation	A copybook is referenced (COPY directive) in the source code but cannot be found by the analyzer. This can occurs when source files have not been delivered or when the source files are not accessible by the analyzer.
User Action	Select the object <COPYBOOK_NAME> in the list of objects in the Unknown\Copybooks folder of the technical browser in CAST Enlighten to see where it is referenced. If this is an application specific copybook, then it is recommended to ask the application team for it. This could affect reference resolution and any diagnostic rules you might want around data components. You will find the complete list of missing source elements at the end of the analysis log.

Mainframe.03

Identifier	Mainframe.03
Message	Ambiguous resolution of <OBJECT_TYPE> '<OBJECT_NAME>'.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The analyzer found a source file or an object with a name containing characters like '[', ']', '(', or ')'. These characters are removed leading to duplicate names. This message can be also generated when the analysis option "Platform: IBM z/OS" is set to true and the source code comes from another platform that allows using long names. In that case, names are truncated to 8 characters leading to duplicated names. Having duplicate names prevents to resolve references.
User Action	Check the source files and the analysis options.

Mainframe.04


Identifier	Mainframe.04
Message	The picture <PICTURE> may not be analysed properly.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The COBOL analyzer is not able to parse a variable picture correctly. This can affect quality rules related to data handling.
User Action	Check the source code containing the variable declaration. If the picture is correct, then please contact the CAST support.

Mainframe.05

Identifier	Mainframe.05
Message	Cannot resolve included file '<INCLUDE_NAME>'.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	A copybook is referenced (INCLUDE directive) in the source code but cannot be found by the analyzer. This can occurs when source files have not been delivered or when the source files are not accessible by the analyzer.
User Action	Select the object in the list of objects in the Unknown\Copybooks folder of the technical browser in CAST Enlighten to see where it is referenced. If this is an application specific copybook, then it is recommended to ask the application team for it. This could affect reference resolution and any quality rules you might want around data components. You will find the complete list of missing source elements at the end of the analysis log.

Mainframe.06

Identifier	Mainframe.06
Message	Unclosed string is found.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	An alphanumeric literal has been found in the source code but the COBOL analyzer is not able to the end of the string.
User Action	Open the source file. Check if it contains COBOL code. If yes, then verify if the Starting Column analysis parameter is set properly. It is possible to have copybooks that do not have the same Starting column than calling programs. In this case, adapt the copybook to the expected format. If no, then remove file from the analyzed folder and exclude it from source selection. Generally, this means that source code from other technology than Cobol has been delivered in the folder. If you select source code via directories, then the analyzer is going to take into account all files belonging to this directory.

Mainframe.07


Identifier	Mainframe.07
Message	The file ‘<FILE_NAME>’ contains invalid ‘0’ characters replaced by ‘#’.
Severity	Information
Explanation	A binary character has been find in the source code and replaced by a text character.
User Action	No action to perform. The binary character has been replaced automatically by an ASCII character.

Mainframe.08


Identifier	Mainframe.08
Message	The advanced user configuration file is not found at specified location. As a consequence, JCL files could not be analyzed. Please check the analysis options:
Severity	Error
Explanation	The “AdvancedJCL.xml” file has not been found in the folder specified in the analysis settings. This prevents the analyzer to parse JCL source files.
User Action	Review the Mainframe technology “Platform settings” to specify the correct location of the AdvancedJCL.xml file and restart the analysis.

Mainframe.09

Identifier	Mainframe.09
Message	Cannot resolve <OBJECT_TYPE> '<OBJECT_NAME>'.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The analyzer encountered a reference to a source code element (for example: a COBOL program, a JCL procedure, a CICS map, a CICS Transient Data item etc.…) but cannot find this item in the analysis folder.
User Action	Select the object <OBJECT_NAME> in the list of objects in the Unknown\<OBJECT_TYPE> folder of the technical browser in CAST Enlighten to see where it is referenced. If this is an application specific element, then it is recommended to ask the application team for it. It can affect any quality rules. If the object is a program, it can be called through its PROGRAM-ID name (this is the most frequent case) which is different from its source file name. In this case you must search for it by using a GREP tool. If the message is about a reference to a DD name, then check if there is a JCL step calling the program and defining a DD card with the same DD name. If there is no such JCL element and if there is a supported batch part, then ask the application team for it. Note that the resolution of this type of links is not supported in case the program for which the message has been emitted is a subprogram and you can ignore that message. If the program is a main batch program and there is a JCL step that calls it, then please contact the CAST Support. You will find the complete list of missing source elements at the end of the analysis log.

Mainframe.10


Identifier	Mainframe.10
Message	Potential comment is found.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The analyzer detected a potential comment line in the COBOL source code. This can be the consequence of an improper indicator area column and the ‘*’ character has not been found at the expected location.
User Action	Check the source code and the “Column of the Indicator area” analysis option. You can also check if the corresponding line of code comes from a copybook. In that case, change the indentation of the copybook lines to match the indicator area specified in the analysis option.

Mainframe.11


Identifier	Mainframe.11
Message	Reference not found for DSN clause in DD card.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The JCL analyzer found a DD card referring to another DD card (its name contains a prefix corresponding to another step in the same job or in an external procedure) but is not able to find that DD card.
User Action	Check if the JCL code containing the referred DD card has been delivered and is part of the analysis scope. It could be the case for JCL external procedures.

Mainframe.12


Identifier	Mainframe.12
Message	Analyzing <FILE_TYPE> <OBJECT_NAME> (<FILE_NO>/<FILE_NB>.
Severity	Information
Explanation	The Mainframe Analyzer started to analyze the file. It also displays the file number <FILE_NO> compare to the total number of files <FILE_NB> of type <FILE_TYPE> to be analyzed.
User Action	Nothing to do.

Mainframe.13


Identifier	Mainframe.13
Message	Invalid option value : <ANALYSIS_OPTION>.
Severity	Error
Explanation	An analysis option has not been set correctly. This prevents to perform the analysis.
User Action	Review the analysis settings and restart the analysis.

Mainframe.14


Identifier	Mainframe.14
Message	Potential mismatch between the program and the PSB ‘<PSB_NAME>’. The PCB number <NUMBER> has not been found.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The number of PCBs in PSB and in COBOL program are different. This can lead to wrong links between COBOL code and IMS PCB.
User Action	Check the PCB list in the PSB and the parameters specified in the PROCEDURE division and the ENTRY DLITCBL or in the LINKAGE SECTION in the COBOL program. Both must have the same number of PCBs in the same order.

Mainframe.15

Identifier	Mainframe.15
Message	Cannot analyse <LANGUAGE_ELEMENT> for the moment.
Severity	Information
Explanation	The COBOL analyzer does not support Object Oriented version of the COBOL programming language and no objects will be created from source code.
User Action	Remove corresponding source files from the source files folder. Note that the list of supported COBOL version is available in the documentation.

Mainframe.16


Identifier	Mainframe.16
Message	A potential recursive INCLUDE ‘<INCLUDE_NAME>’ inclusion has been found.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The COBOL analyzer detected a potential recursive copybook inclusion (INCLUDE directive) in the source code. Meaning that a copybook A refers to a copybook B that refers to copybook A.
User Action	Check if the copybooks involved in the recursive reference are the expected source files. If not, then replace them by the proper files or remove the file that creates the recursive reference.

Mainframe.17


Identifier	Mainframe.17
Message	Ambiguous resolution for copybook ‘<INCLUDE_NAME>’ in the folders.
Severity	Warning
Explanation	The COBOL analyzer detected more than two copybooks with the same name when expanding. The first copybook will be selected.
User Action	Check why there are multiple copybooks with the same name in the project and verify if the selected copybook is correct in the Cobol file.
