Error description
NUMCHECK does not honor NUMCLS=ALT from IGYCDOPT when doing an IS NUMERIC class test Simple Example: IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. TESTCB6 ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. DATA DIVISION. WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. 01 TEST-VARIABLES. 03 TRIGFETCH PIC S9(9) COMP-3 VALUE 0. 03 TRIEXEC PIC S9(9) COMP-3. 03 FMT1 PIC ZZZBZZZBZZ9. PROCEDURE DIVISION. ADD +1 TO TRIGFETCH. MOVE TRIGFETCH TO TRIEXEC. MOVE TRIEXEC TO FMT1. GOBACK. END PROGRAM TESTCB6. Messages produced with NUMCLS=ALT in effect IGZ0279W The value X'000000000C' of data item TRIGFETCH at the time of reference by statement number 1 on line 11 in program TESTCB6 failed the NUMERIC class test generated by the NUMCHECK compiler option. IGZ0279W The value X'000000001C' of data item TRIGFETCH at the time of reference by statement number 1 on line 12 in program TESTCB6 failed the NUMERIC class test generated by the NUMCHECK compiler option. IGZ0279W The value X'000000001C' of data item TRIEXEC at the time of reference by statement number 1 on line 13 in program TESTCB6 failed the NUMERIC class test generated by the NUMCHECK compiler option.
Local fix
NUMCLS=PRIM (the default) is in effect in IGYCDOPT, the IGZ0279W messages do not appear at runtime.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling * * programs with NUMCHECK(PAC or ZON) and the * * NUMCLS=ALT installation option. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Valid data is reported as invalid by * * NUMCHECK. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** Valid signs under NUMCLS=ALT would be flagged as invalid data.
Problem conclusion
Compiler was updated to properly handle the signs with NUMCLS=ALT.
