Error Checker Tool (FLHCOERR)


The Error Checker Tool identifies certain COBOL logic errors that are not detected by COBOL compilers. These logic errors can be time consuming to identify and can cause unpredictable program results.

The Error Checker Tool checks for COBOL logic errors including:
  • Overlapping exits in PERFORM statement.

    This happens when a PERFORM THRU statement inadvertently names an exit point that is the same as the exit point for another PERFORM. This sometimes happens when logic from one paragraph is copied to another paragraph.

  • GOTO statement that navigates to a point beyond the range of a PERFORM statement.

  • Circular references in PERFORM statements can cause a never-ending loop.

Error Checker Tool Report

Here is a sample report where the Error Checker Tool detected overlapping exits.
