PI26944: INCREASED REGION REQUIRED USING SSRANGE AND TABLE ELEMENT SUBSCRIPTED USING ALL CONSTANT SUBSCRIPTS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Code containing non ODO table element subscripted using all
  constant subscripts is compiled with SSRANGE. The compiler
  diagnoses out of range subscripts at compile time and is also
  generating code to do the checking at runtime. This leads to an
  increase in Region requirements during compile.
  

Local fix

• Use NOSSRANGE.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL release 5.1 using: *
  *                 1. The SSRANGE compiler option.              *
  *                 2. A SORT statement that refers to an SD     *
  *                    file that has a variable-length record    *
  *                    and has the same record area as an FD     *
  *                    file and the program is compiled with     *
  *                    the DATA(24) compiler option.             *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. When compiling with the SSRANGE      *
  *                         compiler option the compiler         *
  *                         diagnoses literal subscript that are *
  *                         out of range, but also generates     *
  *                         code to do the same check at run     *
  *                         time.                                *
  *                      2. When compiling using DATA(24)        *
  *                         option, a SORT statement that has a  *
  *                         variable-length record and has the   *
  *                         same record area as an FD, returns   *
  *                         a sorted record that has an extra    *
  *                         two characters at the beginning of   *
  *                         the record.                          *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  1. When a table reference has literal subscripts, the compiler
     should do the SSRANGE check at compile time only and should
     not generate any code to do the check at run time.
  2. When compiling a program with DATA(24) option, the compiler
     initialized incorrectly the base locator of the same record
     area of a variable-length SD file and an FD file.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. The compiler was modified to eliminate the generation of the
     SSRANGE run-time check code for literal subscripts of tables
     that are defined without OCCURS DEPENDING ON.
  2. The compiler was modified to initialize correctly the base
     locator of the same record area of the SD and the FD when
     compiling with DATA(24).
