Step by Step Scenario

Below is the step-by-step scenario leading to the problem:

  1. Run analysis of Mainframe application
  2. Check in Enlighten
Impact of the Problem

The impact of the problem on the analysis or the dashboard is: Number of heading comment lines for sections seems to be counted as 0.

Action Plan

The presence of one tab ("\t") in the cobol source at Line where heading comment is present is the root cause of the issue. 

Cobol expects the "*" to be in col 7. 

If there's tab before that, the calculation gets disturbed. 

 To fix the problem, proceed as follows:

  1. Replace the tab with spaces & the problem will disappear. You will get the correct number of heading comment lines.

Impact of the Solution

Impact of the solution on the analysis or the dashboard is: The number of heading comment lines will appear correctly.
