APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError:
  JVMVRFY017 <init> does not call this <init> or super <init>;
  class=<SOME_CLASS>, method=<init>()V, pc=171
  .
  Stack Trace: java.lang.J9VMInternals.verifyImpl(Native

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is related to how the bytecode verifier propagates
  the 'uninitializedThis' flag during the verification process.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to correctly propagate the
  'uninitializedThis' flag and thus prevent the
  java.lang.VerifyError from occurring.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     7    SR8 FP10  (7.0.8.10)
