Why you should care
Avoid dangerous file usage patterns. File management contains dangerous usage patterns.
How we detect
CAST Highlight counts one occurrence each time one of these patterns are detected in source code:
- a file (only FD) declared in data division is open and not closed, or is closed without having been openned
- a COBOL source file has no INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION
- a COBOL source file has no FILE SECTION
- a FD <file> or SD <file> in file section is not declared with a SELECT <file> instruction in input-output section
