APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a user has a record that contains multiple dynamic arrays
  of another record, and there exists a string within the dynamic
  array record, then usage of that string might generate COBOL
  code that does not qualify the record to a level high enough to
  remove ambiguity, causing a COBOL compiler error
