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.
