Recommended
Corrective Action
CHECKPOINT Because the web client does not
run with a backup process, this
statement is not meaningful in a
web environment. The converter
generates a warning and continues
converting the rest of the program.
The converted Java code contains
the warning statement as a
comment. The converted code will
compile, but the effect of the
CHECKPOINT statement is not
provided by the converted code.
No corrective action
needed.
DEVICEINFO The converter generates an error
and continues converting the rest of
the program. The converted Java
code contains a non-compilable
statement.
Either remove the non-
compilable statement
from the converted
code or remove the
DEVICEINFO
statement from the
SCREEN COBOL
source program.
DISPLAY RECOVERY,
EXIT RECOVERY
The converter generates a warning
and continues converting the rest of
the program. The converted Java
code contains the warning
statement as a comment. The
converted code will compile, but the
effect of the DISPLAY RECOVERY
and EXIT RECOVERY statements
is not provided by the converted
code.
No corrective action
needed.
DYNAMIC Dynamic changes of attributes are
not supported. The converter
generates equivalent calls that do
nothing.
Dynamic attributes
depend on the
browser. Modify the
converted code based
on the browsers to be
used.
MDT (modified data tag)
use in ACCEPT statement
In the converted code, input
validations are applied to all screen
fields that participate in the
ACCEPT operation, regardless of
the MDT setting (that is, whether or
not the fields were modified).
No corrective action
needed.
