COBOL compiler option - SSRANGE

Post by Krishna » Sun Jul 19, 2009 7:46 pm

My COBOL program has an array defined to have 10 items. Due to a bug, I find that even if the program access
the 11th item in this array, the program does not abend. What is wrong with it?

Must use compiler
option SSRANGE if you want array bounds checking. Default is NOSSRANGE.
