APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Multiple calls from non-LE enabled code to COBOL V5 results in
    reinitialization even when RTEREUS is ON.  Performance is
    degraded due to the loading and deleting of modules such as
    CEEBINIT that occur during initialization and termination.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.1 and V5.2      *
    *                 running programs with the RTEREUS runtime    *
    *                 option.                                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the COBOL program is called using  *
    *                      an alternate entry point, the RTEREUS   *
    *                      option has no effect.                   *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    There was an error in handling alternate entry point under
    RTEREUS, resulting in the COBOL program being run as though
    RTEREUS was not specified.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The COBOL runtime library has been fixed to process alternate
    entry point correctly under RTEREUS option.
