Error description
Missing dependency between July 2018 6.2 COBOL compiler PTF and July 2018 COBOL runtime PTF.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 who are * * compiling and running programs using the * * new intrinsic functions HEX-OF and BIT-OF * * but do not have the July 2018 COBOL runtime * * PTF UI57304 (z/OS V2R1), UI57303 (z/OS * * V2R2) or UI57302 (z/OS V2R3) installed on * * their development and production systems. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A failure during the link step can * * occur with the following message: * * IEW2456E 9207 SYMBOL IGZX2HEX [or * * IGZX2BIN] UNRESOLVED. MEMBER COULD * * NOT BE INCLUDED FROM THE DESIGNATED * * CALL LIBRARY. * * * * A failure during runtime can occur on * * any system where the program is run. * * e.g. IGZ0153S Program PROG was * * compiled with a level of the compiler * * that requires service to be installed * * on Language Environment. From compile * * unit PROG at entry point FOO at * * compile unit offset +000000FC at * * entry offset +000000FC at address * * 2680A0FC. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install the July 2018 COBOL runtime PTF on * * all systems where COBOL programs using the * * new HEX-OF and BIT-OF intrinsic functions * * will run and be compiled. * **************************************************************** The July 2018 COBOL 6.2 compiler PTF is missing a pre-req on the July 2018 COBOL runtime PTF, which is needed only for those customers using the new HEX-OF and BIT-OF intrinsic functions.
Problem conclusion
A new COBOL compiler PTF was issued which properly establishes the dependency of the Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiler on the July 2018 COBOL runtime PTF.
