Error description
In a dynamic call scenario where non-LE code gets control before COBOL code, and the program id or entry name is the same as that of the main COBOL program, the main COBOL progam's CLLE (COBOL Load List Entry) is incorrectly associated with the newly loaded module. This leads to the wrong WSA being used, typically leading to an abend0C4 during initialization of the new compile unit.
Local fix
Make sure dynamically called compile units have unique names
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5+ users compiling and * * running programs that have the same ENTRY * * names as the PROGRAM-ID name. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Runtime ABEND0C4 in entry IGZXPRS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When a COBOL V5+ program is entered via an ENTRY statement that has the same name as the COBOL MAIN program, the program may incorrectly use the static control information from the MAIN program entry point, resulting in a 0C4 ABEND.
Problem conclusion
The COBOL runtime has been corrected to avoid the 0C4 ABEND.
