Error description

  • The READ verb hangs after 8192 records. The input file is
    defined as LINE SEQUENTIAL but the data is not a legal LINE
    SEQUENTIAL file.  It lacks \n new line bytes at the end of each
    record.  The new line is hex 0A.  The problem probably started
    with COBOL for AIX 4.1.1.0 (definately with 4.1.1.4).
    

Local fix

  • Revert the compiler and runtime to version 4.1.0.0.
    Type the command   $ lslpp -l cobol*   to be sure.
    

Problem summary

  • Loop or hang when reading 8191 or 8192 records.
