Metadata Analyzer usage restrictions


COBOL

  • Nested programs are not supported. Only the first program is analyzed.
  • Report Writer syntax is not supported.

PL/I

  • PL/I programs containing preprocessor directives other than %INCLUDE, %PRINT, %NOPRINT, %SKIP, and %PROCESS must have the directives resolved before they can be analyzed. This can be done by collecting and downloading these programs via the Metadata Analyzer or compiling the program to a Compuware Source Listing (DDIO) dataset.
  • Use of compile options RULES(LAXPUNC), BLANK, and NAMES are not supported.
  • Alternate Include processor IDs specified via the PP(INCLUDE(ID(“..”)) compile option are not supported.
  • Multiple level zero procedures are not supported. Likewise, statements outside the level zero procedure are ignored.
  • Impact Analysis and Find Indirect cannot continue flowing through a data item with a variable length. Processing continues with the next data item. These conditions are noted when found.
  • Every statement within a PL/I program must be terminated by a semicolon.

JCL
