Thanks, we have moved on by identifying the groups with the issue and dealing 
with them.

Sorry to be so late on this...

Could you post the description of the group item and the INITIALIZE statement?
It would appear that none of the items under the group were of a type that 
could be initialized, but I would like to take a look, if you have not already 
moved on frmo this problem!

Also, I would be surprised if the behavior of COBOL V4 was different from COBOL 
V6, I do not think that have not changed this code in the compiler!

Cheers,

COBOL Migration v4 to v6.1 - CONDITIONS OF INITIALIZATION

2019-11-01 Thread George, William@FTB
Since migrating from COBOL v4 to COBOL v6.1 a few runtime abends have occurred 
which seem to have a root cause of data items not being initialized.   These 
data-items seem to be under a group level where the group level is initialized.

The compile's diagnostic errors listing shows al warning messages of:
IGYPS2047-W   "INITIALIZE" STATEMENT OPERAND  DID NOT MEET 
CONDITIONS FOR INITIALIZATION  WAS NOT INITIALIZED.

Our Quick Ref did not have info on this message but I did find one mention of 
it in both the v6.1 migration and customization guide. However the text of the 
message was completely different and referred to the ALPHA parm.
IGYPS2047-W "INITIALIZE" statement receiver "ALPHA" was incompatible with the 
data category(s) of the "REPLACING" operand(s). "ALPHA" was not initialized.

Does anyone have insights on what the term "CONDITIONS FOR INITIZATION" refers 
to and what these conditions are?  This might help us determine why some 
data-items do not meet these condition under its group level.

Bill
