Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiling and  *
    *                 running programs with either the TRUNC(OPT)  *
    *                 or TRUNC(BIN) option and the program         *
    *                 contains a comparison between a USAGE        *
    *                 BINARY/COMP/COMP-4 data item and a literal   *
    *                 whose binary representation requires more    *
    *                 bytes than the data item to which it is      *
    *                 being compared.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect runtime result.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler was representing the literal internally with an
    incorrect size causing it to generate incorrect code for the
    comparison.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to represent the literal in such
    comparisons with the correct size.
