APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The issue is that if the user specifies COPYRIGHT and/or
    SERVICE compiler options, the strings get dumped to the first
    object program for the first program in the batch compile, but
    never get dumped to any subsequent object programs.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 performing a   *
    *                 batch compilation where the COPYRIGHT        *
    *                 and/or SERVICE compiler options are in       *
    *                 effect.                                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The COPYRIGHT and SERVICE strings       *
    *                      appear only in the object program of    *
    *                      the first program (compilation unit)    *
    *                      of the batch compilation.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The COPYRIGHT and SERVICE option strings were being
    inadvertently cleared after they were written to the
    object program of the first program in a batch compilation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to ensure that the COPYRIGHT and
    SERVICE strings are written to the object program of each
    program in a batch compilation.
