Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Enterprise COBOL V6.4 compiler  *
  *                 who are compiling source programs with the   *
  *                 STGOPT compiler option and who also have a   *
  *                 one byte 01 level elementary data item       *
  *                 defined in the DATA DIVISION of their        *
  *                 source program, immediately following the    *
  *                 definition of a group data item that is      *
  *                 used as a record buffer in the FROM clause   *
  *                 of a WRITE statement.  i.e.                  *
  *                 WRITE PRINT-RECORD FROM                      *
  *                 END-OF-REPORT-MSG-324                        *
  *                 AFTER ADVANCING 3 LINES.                     *
  *                 The WRITE statement would have the AFTER or  *
  *                 BEFORE ADVANCING phrase, or the file         *
  *                 would be defined with the LINAGE clause.     *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABORT: The compiler may ABORT due to    *
  *                      the storage optimization phase of the   *
  *                      compiler preventing storage from        *
  *                      being allocated for the one byte 01-    *
  *                      level elementary data item, and then    *
  *                      trying to reference the storage for     *
  *                      this elementary item in a later phase   *
  *                      of the compile.                         *
  *                      Messages similar to the following may   *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM provided PTF and recompile the *
  *                 source programs.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  Since the one byte 01-level elementary item previously
  mentioned was never referenced in the source program, the
  storage optimization phase of the compiler never
  allocated storage for the data item.  Because of the type
  and placement of this elementary item in the DATA DIVISION,
  the compiler attempted to reference the storage allocated
  to the elementary data item.  Since the storage was not
  previously allocated, the compiler issues the ABORT message
  and terminates with Return code 16.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler has been updated so that it always allocates
  storage for the one byte 01-level elementary item mentioned
  above, thus preventing the reported ABORT problem.
  

Temporary fix
