Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION: None
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5 and later * * releases running transactions while * * using a mix of Runtime options ALL31(ON) * * and ALL31(OFF) under CICS. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A transaction hangs as soon as it * * starts and does not progress. * * It might lead to an AICA abend * * under CICS. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When COBOL Runtime initializes the COBOL library vector (LIBVEC) for Runtime option ALL31(ON) and ALL31(OFF), the LIBVEC for ALL31(ON) is initialized incorrectly in such a way that some of entry point addresses in the LIBVEC point back to LIBVEC. Therefore, branching into the entry point COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K COB0603T/K COB0604T/K
Problem conclusion
COBOL Runtime has been enhanced to complete the LIBVEC initialization correctly by serializing the process for ALL31(ON) and ALL31(OFF).
