Error description
APAR PH36777 added code to SIGYMAC(IGYCOPT) to recognize the problem when administrators incorrectly coded OPTION( ) instead of OPTION=( ) or coded an unknown compiler option. Administrators are getting confused because the *** MNOTE *** message says OPT=VALUE instead of OPTION=VALUE. They mistakenly think that there is a problem with the OPT (OPTIMIZE) compiler option. They also do not recognize that the list of invalid options is listed immediately below the message, in the assembler listing output for IGYCDOPT. The original error message produced by the MNOTE in the IGYCOPT macro was not clear enough and seemed to imply that there was a problem with the OPT compiler option, when it was actually referring to any compiler OPTION. The message also did not instruct the administrator to look for the badly formatted or unknown compiler options immediately following the MNOTE error message in the assembler listing.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All administrators of the z/OS Enterprise * * COBOL V6.3 Compiler who are planning to * * modify compiler option default values by * * building the IGYCDOPT program. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: APAR PH36777 added code to * * SIGYMAC(IGYCOPT) to recognize the * * problem when administrators incorrectly * * coded OPTION( ) instead of OPTION=( ), * * or coded an unknown compiler option. * * Administrators are getting confused * * because the message says OPT=VALUE * * instead of OPTION=VALUE, and * * mistakenly think that there is a * * problem with the OPT (OPTIMIZE) * * compiler option.

The message also did not instruct the administrator to look for the badly formatted or unknown compiler options to immediately follow the error message in the assembler listing.
Problem conclusion
The MNOTE error message produced when an incorrectly formatted or unknown compiler option is specified in the IGYCDOPT assembler file has been reworded to clearly identify the problem. It also now instructs the admin to look for the unknown or badly formatted options to immediately follow this message in the assembler listing.
