If the code is *exactly* as you posted then...
this looks like a bug in IBM's compiler. Note that version
Version: 08.00.0000.0000 is outdated. I have received a patch
after that one.

OR

The warning just says that you reference a variable
that was not initialized at its declaration... This could
be a very misleading warning. Try to do

If the warning disappears it means that this is the case.
