RELATED IDEAS

CICS and SQL host variables should be added to COBOL cross reference.

The XREF listing produced by the compiler omits unreferenced SQL or CICS variables. In this example, BARREC RECLEN and CICSRESP are not in the listing file's cross reference map.
EXEC CICS REWRITE
FILE(FILE-NAME)
FROM(BARREC) LENGTH(RECLEN)
RESP(CICSRESP)
END-EXEC .

    Hi,

    While reviewing our RFE backlog, implementing this feature would require changes from both the COBOL and CICS teams, and while we have many COBOL/CICS users, there has not been enough votes on this feature to get it into plan. As a result, we will not be implementing this RFE. Feel free to open a new RFE is this changes.

    Thanks.
