PI23372: DTCU ANNOTATION REPORT FOR COBOL CAN OVERWRITE LINE NUMBER FIELD, WHICH CAUSES A PROBLEM WITH THE HTML TARGETED COVERAGE REPORT.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DTCU Annotation Report for COBOL can over write the line number
  field, which causes a problem with the HTML Targeted Coverage
  Report.
  Change the Annotation Report for COBOL to prevent the annotation
  symbols from running over the beginning of the COBOL source
  shown in the listing. This over write causes the HTML Targeted
  Coverage Report generator to be unable to find a changed line in
  the listing.
  If there are too many annotation symbols to fit before the COBOL
  source, place the extra ones over on the right side of the
  annotation listing just to the right of the COBOL source.

  Over write of the COBOL line number field by the annotation
  routine caused the HTML Targeted Coverage routine to not
  find a changed line in the listing.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem resolved by changing the annotation routine to not
  over write the COBOL source.
