PH23504: APPLICATION DISCOVERY BUILD CLIENT V5.1.0.5 GET STUCK WHEN BUILDING COBOL PROGRAMS AND SEVERAL COBOL WARNING MESSAGES.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When building a project at Application Discovery v5.1.0.5, the
  process gets stuck at the COBOL programs and when checking the
  Windows Task Manager, its visible that JMCobol.exe is the
  process running at that time. It seems that killing this
  JMCobol.exe process makes the build process to advance,
  however, it also makes the COBOL program to be missing from the
  Application Discovery analysis.
  The build client also shows the several COBOL warning messages
  as per below samples:
  Warning [999] : Syntax error: 'DECLARE'
