Closed as program error.
Error description
IGZ0032S A CANCEL was attempted on active program program-name. When PL/I fetches a COBOL program and that program dynamically calls another COBOL program that fails... the error occurs during termination as COBOL still sees the fetched COBOL program as active. This is a change in behavior from Cobol V4. COBOL V4.2: CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4). COBOL V5.1: CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4). IGZ0032S A CANCEL was attempted on active program program-name.
Local fix
Ignore the IGZ0032S CANCEL message
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5.1, V5.2 and V6.1 users * * running a mixture of COBOL and PL/I * * programs and an ABEND occurs in a COBOL * * program. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect ABEND message: When PL/I * * fetches a COBOL program and that * * program dynamically calls a second * * COBOL program, an ABEND in the second * * COBOL program triggers message * * IGZ0032S to be issued. The message is * * misleading as the primary source of * * the issue is the ABEND and not a * * CANCEL operation. The message was also * * not being issued with earlier versions * * of COBOL. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The error handling logic issues the IGZ0032S message even though an ABEND occurred in a dynamically called COBOL program that is in a mixed environment with PL/I modules.
Problem conclusion
The error handling logic mentioned in the summary has been corrected. The IGZ0032S message is not being issued anymore when a COBOL program ABENDs and is dynamically called by another COBOL program that is fetched from PL/I.
