Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling a    *
    *                 program that meets the following conditions: *
    *                                                              *
    *                 1. The program is compiled with the SMARTBIN *
    *                 option in effect.                            *
    *                                                              *
    *                 2. The program is compiled with an           *
    *                 Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiler with the       *
    *                 PTF(s) for APAR PH60896 applied.             *
    *                                                              *
    *                 3. The program contains a varying length     *
    *                 sort file. Note that a sort file can be      *
    *                 varying in length for multiple reasons,      *
    *                 including that it has multiple sort records  *
    *                 defined with different lengths in the file   *
    *                 section, or it has a single sort record that *
    *                 contains an ODO table, or the SD for the     *
    *                 sort file contains the RECORD IS VARYING     *
    *                 clause.                                      *
    *                                                              *
    *                 4. The program contains a SORT statement     *
    *                 with an OUTPUT PROCEDURE phrase that         *
    *                 specifies an output procedure that contains  *
    *                 a RETURN INTO statement.                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABO cannot optimize the CSECT for the   *
    *                      program object generated by the         *
    *                      affected Enterprise COBOL compiler and  *
    *                      produces the following message:         *
    *                                                              *

    *                      :                                       *
    *                      Exiting with return code: 4             *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF and recompile any *
    *                 programs that may be affected.               *
    ****************************************************************
    The COBOL compiler was generating code for a RETURN INTO
    statement for a varying length sort file that was functionally
    correct but not eligible for optimization by ABO, which by
    design, interpreted the code as being too complex to be subject
    to its processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The COBOL compiler was updated to generate code for RETURN INTO
    statements for varying length sort files that is supported by
    ABO.
