RELATED IDEAS

COBOL v6.2 IGZ0304W should also show CU or program name

Currently, the message prints the table-name, verb, and line number. But, many times we may be a few programs in via CALLs and we don't know which program to look in immediately. Printing the CU or current program would help quickly diagnose this message when we're any number of programs deep into the stack.

    It looks like recent LE maintenance has added the program name to the message. I think this functionality has been added. Thanks!

    Yes, every IGZ runtime message should include the name of the current program.

    This is true for every IGZ* message. Meanwhile COBOL systems are really complex, with a huge number of sub programs. Knowing where the message came from exactly is really valuable.
