APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: Method com/ibm/dataaccess/DecimalData.convertPackedDecimalToLong does not throw an exception when invoked with parameters that should otherwise generate an exception. . Stack Trace: N/A . The problem is only seen when multiple calls to com/ibm/dataaccess/DecimalData.convertPackedDecimalToLong are present within the same scope block and there is no control flow between them.
Local fix
This issue can be worked around using the -Xjit:disableVariablePrecisionDAA option. Note that the addition of this option may affect performance.
Problem summary
When multiple calls to the described method are present, in certain situations the optimizer may re-use the values from the previous call if they share the same parameters. In some cases the optimizer makes an incorrect transformation, thus passing incorrect parameters to the method call.
Problem conclusion
The JIT optimizer has been updated to prevent the faulty transformations. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR1 (8.0.1.0) 7 R1 SR3 (7.1.3.0) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
