Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling     *
  *                 programs containing SORT statements with     *
  *                 INPUT/OUTPUT procedures.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Warning message IGYCB7309-W is          *
  *                      emitted, without any self-looping       *
  *                      performs in the program.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The code finding self-looping performs did not correctly handle
  the implicit PERFORM statements introduced by SORT statements
  with INPUT and OUTPUT procedures.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was modified to avoid emitting the self-looping
  perform message in such cases.
