APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The problem doesn't materially affect most compiles beyond the
    several ICH408I messages, although if RPTOPTS(ON) is specified
    for the compile step, the diagnostic
    
    IGYAS5125-U The compilation was terminated due to a compiler
            error in phase id: "IGYCASMB".
    
    will be issued and the compile terminate return code 16.
    
    The RPTSTG(ON) problem doesn't affect users with an OMVS
    segment.
    

Local fix

  • Ignore the messages or give the user an OMVS segment.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
    *                 programs with LP(32) and with a user ID      *
    *                 that doesn't have an OMVS segment defined.   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler abend with message MSGICH408I  *
    *                      OMVS SEGMENT NOT DEFINED                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
    ****************************************************************
    Enterprise COBOL 6.4 contained code that required users to have
    user IDs with an OMVS segment defined.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Enterprise COBOL 6.4 was fixed so user IDs with OMVS segments
    are no longer required under LP(32). User IDs with OMVS
    segments are still a requirement of LP(64)
    

Temporary fix
