Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL release 5.1 using  *
  *                 XML GENERATE statement with a generic        *
  *                 suppression (WHEN EVERY ...) phrase.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. For XML GENERATE statements with     *
  *                      generic suppression phrases, the        *
  *                      compiler in some cases issues an error  *
  *                      message even in legal cases; 2. An XML  *
  *                      GENERATE statement with a national      *
  *                      type NAMESPACE or NAMESPACE-PREFIX,     *
  *                      data item, with an alphanumeric         *
  *                      receiver (identifier-1) and with        *
  *                      ENCODING not 1208, is illegal, but the  *
  *                      compiler did not diagnose it; 3. An     *
  *                      XML GENERATE statement, for which       *
  *                      identifier-2 or one of its              *
  *                      subordinates is a national or DBCS      *
  *                      data item, with an alphanumeric         *
  *                      receiver (identifier-1) and with        *
  *                      ENCODING not 1208, is illegal, but the  *
  *                      compiler did not diagnose it.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  1. The Language Reference Manual states that the rules for XML
  GENERATE SUPPRESS generic suppression phrase should be enforced
  at compile time; 2. When XML GENERATE statements with national
  type NAMESPACE or NAMESPACE-PREFIX are specified and the
  encoding was not 1208 and identifier-1 was an alphanumeric data
  item, the compiler failed to diagnose it as an illegal case; 3.
  When XML GENERATE FROM identifier-2 or one of its subordinates
  was a national or DBCS data item and the encoding was not 1208
  and identifier-1 was an alphanumeric data item, it was illegal,
  but the compiler failed to diagnose it.
