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.
