Error description

  • Change the COBOL procs IGYWCL and IGYWCLG to modify the bind
    step (LKED) to reverse the order of library concatenation from:
    
    //SYSLIB   DD  DSNAME=&LIBPRFX..SCEELKED,DISP=SHR
    //         DD  DSNAME=&LIBPRFX..SCEELKEX,DISP=SHR
    
    to:
    
    //SYSLIB   DD  DSNAME=&LIBPRFX..SCEELKEX,DISP=SHR
    //         DD  DSNAME=&LIBPRFX..SCEELKED,DISP=SHR
    
    
    For binds of programs that use unmapped names and require CSECT
    resolution from *.SCEELKEX, having * SCEELKED concatenated
    ahead of *.SCEELKEX in the SYSLIB concatenation in the bind
    step may result in binder warning messages such as:
    
    IEW2480W A711 EXTERNAL SYMBOL @@GMTM@R OF TYPE LD WAS ALREADY
    DEFINED AS A SYMBOL OF TYPE LD IN SECTION @@GMTM@R.
    
    IEW2482W A712 THE ORIGINAL DEFINITION WAS IN A MODULE
    IDENTIFIED BY DDNAME SYSLIB.  THE DUPLICATE DEFINITION IS IN
    SECTION gmtime_r  IN A MODULE IDENTIFIED BY DDNAME SYSLIB.
    
    
    The Binder documentation documents the following:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.
    ibm.zos.v2r1.ceea500/dsdesc.htm says:
    
    SCEELKED - Contains the link-edit stubs for non-XPLINK C/C++,
    PL/I, COBOL and Fortran languages and Language
    Environment-provided routines.
    
    SCEELKEX - Contains non-XPLINK C/C++ stubs that are not in
    uppercase, truncated or mapped to another symbol. In link-edit
    steps this library must precede SCEELKED if unmapped names are
    used.
    

Local fix

  • Manually change the LE *.SCEELK* dataset order in the bind step
    SYSLIB as needed.

    ****************************************************************
    The order of the SCEELKED and SCEELKEX datasets in the SYSLIB
    concatenation in the binder step is backwards and affects users
    who have a COBOL program calling a C program with a long name.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The order of the SCEELKED and SCEELKEX datasets in the SYSLIB
    concatenation in the binder step was reversed in procs IGYWCL
    and IGYWCLG.
