Use OPT(0)
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL compiling programs * * at OPT(1|2) with paragraphs PERFORMed * * multiple times where the conditions for * * every PERFORM statement for that paragraph * * first check a condition with multiple true * * values and then check a condition that is * * always false, so the PERFORM never gets * * executed. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Program loops endlessly. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When removing the condition that was always false, the optimizer corrupted its internal status, incorrectly making the PERFORM statement be treated as unreachable. The optimizer redirected the end of the PERFORM to itself, creating an endless loop.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to correct its internal status so that the PERFORM statement remained reachable, causing the program to execute correctly.
