PI90568: CORRECT CBL V5.2 BLF OFFSET IN COMPILE LISTING

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Correct CBL V5.2 BLF offset in compile listing to match the
  SYSMDUMP file data
  

Local fix

• DON'T USE THE BLF ADDRESS AGAINST THE DATA DIVISION MAP.
  
  TO CORRECTLY FIND THE DATA ITEM IN SYSMDUMP:
  1- SYSMDUMP PROVIDES THE ADDRESS OF STATIC STORAGE
  (WORKING-STORAGE SECTION STATIC ADDRESS). IN SYSMDUMP GO TO THE
  START OF THE STATIC STORAGE (BEGINNING OF STATIC STORAGE)
  
  2- ADD OFFSET FOR ANY 01 DATA ITEM BY USING THE STATIC MAP IN
  LISTING
  
  3- ADD THE DATA DIVSION MAP OFFSETS FOR DATA ITEM
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling      *
  *                 programs with the MAP option in effect       *
  *                 where the programs contain at least one of   *
  *                 the following:                               *
  *                 - a file defined with the RECORDING MODE S   *
  *                 clause.                                      *
  *                 - a file defined with the LINAGE clause.     *
  *                 - a WRITE statement with a BEFORE/AFTER      *
  *                 ADVANCING phrase.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect compiler listing: In the      *
  *                      compiler listing, data items that are   *
  *                      part of a file record may show an       *
  *                      invalid offset from their associated    *
  *                      BLF cell.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  For some data items, the compiler was displaying in the listing
  an offset from its BLF cell that included the length of record
  prefix characters, such as carriage control characters, even
  though the address in the associated BLF cell was already
  calculated to take those prefix characters into account.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to display correct information in the
  listing about the offset of file record items from their
  associated BLF cell.
