Error description

  • PTF's UI30458 and UI30459 did not contain the fix for PI44846.
    This APAR is to resend PTF's including the fix for PI44846.
    The original problem from PI44846 was:
    
    
    Multiple calls from non-LE enabled code to COBOL V5 results in
    reinitialization even when RTEREUS is ON.  Performance is
    degraded due to the loading and deleting of modules such as
    CEEBINIT that occur during initialization and termination.
    

Local fix

  • Do not use alternate ENTRY.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 running         *
    *                 programs that have alternate ENTRY points    *
    *                 and using the RTEREUS runtime option.        *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Performance problem: when a COBOL       *
    *                      program is called using an alternate    *
    *                      ENTRY point, the RTEREUS option has no  *
    *                      effect.                                 *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    There was an error in handling alternate ENTRY points under
    RTEREUS, resulting in the COBOL program being run as though
    RTEREUS was not in effect.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The COBOL runtime library has been fixed to process alternate
    ENTRY points correctly under the RTEREUS option.
