Cobol V6R2 - Conflict between INITCHECK and OPTIMIZE(0)

The new Cobol V6R2 INITCHECK compile option is conflicting with OPTIMIZE(0) compile option :

IGYOS4021-W The "INITCHECK" option was discarded due to option conflict resolution. The "OPTIMIZE(0)" option took precedence.

Even if internally there can be a relation between these two options, it does not seem normal not to be able to use the option INITCHECK even without optimization of the code of the program.

We want the INITCHECK option to be used independently of the code optimization choice.
