Why you should care

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Avoid dangerous file usage patterns. File management contains dangerous usage patterns.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][vc_column_text]

How we detect

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]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
