The Exception Reports option allows you to create reports that describe potential problems with your application or ABSTRACT cross-reference data. It is recommended to run the report and resolve conflicts before a library is loaded into the cross-reference to ensure correct source for the programs is analyzed and to avoid having to re-run the cross-reference load process. Exception reports may contain the following information:

Orphaned objects

Objects in an application library that are not referenced by any object loaded into the ABSTRACT cross-reference database. Presumably, if it is not referenced, it is not used by your application.

Undocumented objects

Objects in an application library that have never been loaded into the ABSTRACT cross-reference database, or that haven't been loaded since a given date.

Object-source conflicts

Objects in your application library with service (compile-time) information that references a source member that cannot be located on your system, or that references a source member changed since the object was created.

Unused objects

Application objects that have never been used, or haven't been used since a given date. The i5/OS operating system updates an object's last used date whenever it is used.
