Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 and later * * releases running programs in AMODE 64 * * compiled with TRUNC(BIN) using the RANDOM * * intrinsic function. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: COBOL programs running in AMODE 64 * * compiled with TRUNC(BIN) using the * * RANDOM intrinsic function terminate * * with run-time error message IGZ0163S * * during execution when value +2147483647 * * is passed as an input argument to the * * RANDOM intrinsic function. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install provided PTF. * **************************************************************** There was a logic error in the runtime routine for intrinsic function RANDOM when value +2147483647 was passed an input argument in programs running in AMODE 64 compiled with TRUNC(BIN), causing terminating run-time error message IGZ0163S during program execution. COB0603T/K
Problem conclusion
The logic in the runtime routine for intrinsic function RANDOM has been corrected to accept the value +2147483647 as an input in AMODE 64 programs compiled with TRUNC(BIN).
