Abstract
A system for tracking register and/or storage area assignments and warning a programmer of potential assignment errors. More specifically, the system tracks programmer assignments to registers and storage areas and determines if a register or storage area has been modified prior to a call to a program or process external to the source code being examined. The system notes whether a modified register or storage area is restored to its original value subsequent to the external call. If the register or storage area has not been restored, the system displays a warning of a possible assignment error.
