Error description
Following the apply of: V6.2 December, 2021 PTF UI78471 V6.3 November, 2021 PTF UI78163 a program that is compiled with TEST will incorrectly ignore an alternate DDNAME list that is passed to the compiler from an Assembler-invoked compile process. Instead, it will only read the source code from the SYSIN DDNAME, which may not be the same DDNAME as provided in the alternate DDNAME list that is passed to the compiler. Products that may be affected are vendor compile tools that utilize the Assembler-like invocation process, such as SCLM, Dependency Based Build (DBB), Broadcom/CA-GEN, etc... Because there is no source code in SYSIN, the compiler will generate a dummy program name of "CBLNAM01" and the following types of messages will be seen in the compiler output: IGYDS1000-E A "IDENTIFICATION DIVISION" header was not found in this program. It was assumed present. IGYDS1003-E A "PROGRAM-ID" paragraph was not found. Program-name "CBLNAM01" was assumed. IGYSC1428-W The "TEST(DWARF)" option was specified but the compiler return code was 8 or greater. The "NOTEST" will be in effect.
Local fix
Compile with NOTEST.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the Enterprise COBOL V6 * * compiler who are compiling with the TEST * * compiler option and are also passing in an * * alternate DD name table that includes an * * alternate name for the SYSIN DD name. Vendor * * compilation tools like Software * * Configuration and Library Manager (SCLM), * * Dependency Based Build (DBB), * * Broadcom/CA-GEN, etc... that pass an * * alternate DD name table to the compiler may * * be affected. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Following the SMP/E APPLY of: V6.2 * * December, 2021 PTF UI78471 or V6.3 * * November, 2021 PTF UI78163 when the * * compiler is invoked with the TEST * * compiler option and is also passed an * * alternate DD name table which contains * * an alternate DD name entry for the * * SYSIN DD name, the compiler incorrectly * * attempts to read the program source * * only from the standard SYSIN DD name, * * instead of recognizing the alternate DD * * name provided for SYSIN. * * * * Since there is no source program * * associated with the SYSIN DD name in * * this instance, the compiler is trying * * to compile a null source program. This * * typically results in compiler errors * * similar to the following: * * * * * * IGYDS1000-E A * * "IDENTIFICATION DIVISION" header was * * not found in this program. It was * * assumed present. * * * * IGYDS1003-E A "PROGRAM-ID" paragraph * * was not found. Program-name "CBLNAM01" * * was assumed. * * * * IGYSC1428-W The "TEST(DWARF)" option * * was specified but the compiler return * * code was 8 or greater. The "NOTEST" * * will be in effect * * . * * * * 1 IGYSC1082-E A period was * * required. A period was assumed * * before "END OF PROGRAM". * * -Messages Total Informational * * Warning Error Severe * * Terminating * * Printed: 4 * * 1 3 * * * Statistics for COBOL program CBLNAM01 * * : * * * Source records = 0 * * * Data Division statements = 0 * * * Procedure Division statements = 0 * * * Generated COBOL statements = 0 * * * Program complexity factor = 0 * * End of compilation 1, program CBLNAM01 * * , highest severity 8. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was not properly handling the alternate DD names table, when it was passed as parameter 2 on compiler invocation.
Problem conclusion
The compiler has been changed so that it does proper parsing and caching of the alternate DD names table, when supplied.
