Error description
COBOL V5+ program performing a SORT is statically linked with a pre-V5 COBOL program. The executable program object is linked as AMODE(24) and RMODE(24). Exception in IGZEINI on a load instruction occurs on the call to the pre-V5 COBOL program. The exception occurs as psw is in 24 bit mode, attempting to address an 31 bit address. Problem occurs after applying the ptf for PI69070.
Local fix
Back off ptf for PI69070
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL users running both COBOL * * V5+ and pre-V5 programs under AMODE 24, and * * SORT statement is used in the COBOL V5+ * * program. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Runtime ABEND ABEND0C4 in IGZEINI. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** If the COBOL V5+ program uses SORT with INPUT or OUTPUT PROCEDURE, and pre-COBOL V5 program is called from within the INPUT/OUTPUT PROCEDURE, and the program is running in AMODE 24, the COBOL runtime mistakenly allocates a control block above the line. This causes abend ABEND0C4 when the control block is accessed. FIXCAT keyword: COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K
Problem conclusion
The logic in the COBOL runtime has been corrected to work properly for this scenario.
