What is the '*Backout' LMOD Entry on CONPRT80 and what does it signify?
The *Backout entry is a single report entry for all the Backout members in the library.
In the Load library I tested with, there are 3 backout members - the funny named ones starting with the dot:
_________ ....{(|.
_________ .SBCRGS4
_________ .T31AQC1
**End**
The first one is:
*********************************
.Ø.....&TESTPGM1.......wIGZEBST .
س...............................
The second one is:
*******************************
.Ø.....&DEMOSRC1.......wIGZEBST
س.............................
And the last one is:
*********************************
.Ø.....&TESTSRCA.......¶IGZEBST .
س...1..|1Îî..è«..2..|Âð.Â..Âþ.3.
In the CONRPT80 report, it has a *Backout entry of:
*Backout *LOADMOD QA PROBLEMS TESTCASE TESTSRCA COBOL
TESTPGM1 QA PROBLEMS TESTCASE TESTPGM1 COBOL
DEMOSRC1 QA PROBLEMS TESTCASE DEMOSRC1 COBOL
IGZEBST
IGZEBST
IGZEBST
TESTSRCA QA PROBLEMS TESTCASE TESTSRCA COBOL
The *Backup entry is made up of all 3 Backout members - TESTPGM1, DEMOSRC1 and TESTSRCA.
Each Backup member contained an include of IGZEBST so IGZEBST shows up 3 times in the *Backout entry.
