Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Automatic Binary        *
    *                 Optimizer (ABO) for z/OS, v1.2 with input    *
    *                 modules compiled by COBOL for MVS V1R2.      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If an old options module is used with a *
    *                      later compiler then the version number  *
    *                      in the compiled module may be           *
    *                      corrupted.                              *
    *                                                              *
    *                      For example using a VS COBOL II         *
    *                      options module with the COBOL for MVS   *
    *                      V1R2 compiler will encode in the        *
    *                      module an incorrect version of V1R4.    *
    *                      ABO relies on correct version number    *
    *                      information in order to successfully    *
    *                      optimize a module.                      *
    *                                                              *
    *                      In these cases,  ABO may abend with     *
    *                      the message  Assertion failed in        *
    *                      BinaryCodeAnalyzer.cpp:498, in the      *
    *                      OPTERR dataset.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    ABO was modified to detect these types of modules and
    issue the message BOZ1455: unsupported feature "Program
    Complexity 103" found.
    

Problem conclusion

  • ABO now detects and skips optimizing these modules.
