Error description
REPLACING (of COPY statement) does not work on EXEC SQL text
Local fix
Add spaces on either side of the "." in the pseudo-text: :TITXHT<space>.<space>COR-GL-DATE== BY ==NULL=
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling * * programs with the SQL option in effect and * * the program contains a COPY...REPLACING or * * REPLACE statement where the search string * * specified in pseudo text is a reference to * * a fully-qualified SQL host variable name * * containing a period character. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: COPY...REPLACING and REPLACE statements * * fail to match the host variable name * * properly and substitutions are not * * performed as expected. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The library phase tokenizer was inadvertently breaking the SQL host variable name containing a period (which is not a legal COBOL identifier) into multiple parts, which confused the COPY...REPLACING and REPLACE statement matching algorithms.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated so that the library phase tokenizer treats the fully-qualified SQL host variable name as one string of text for matching purposes.
