PI55508: (COB V5.2) MODIFY THE CONDENSED VERB LISTING REPORT TO SORT VERBS IN HEX LOCATION (HEXLOC) ORDER INSTEAD OF LINEID ORDER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• (COB V5.2) When the OFFSET compile option is used, the
  condensed verb listing in the compiler output does not display
  the verbs in hex location (HEXLOC) order as it did in COB V4.2.
  Instead, they are sorted by LINE ID.  Return to the HEXLOC sort
  order, since having the HEXLOC values out of order causes
  debugging difficulties.
