PH67405: ALLOW DATA ITEMS AND USER-DEFINED TYPES TO HAVE THE SAME NAME

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• If a data item was defined with a name that had already been
  used in the definition of a user-defined type, an error would
  result by design (IGYDS1587). Similarly, if a type was defined
  using a name that had already been used in the definition of a
  data item, an error would result by design (IGYDS0037).

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.5 compiling      *
  *                 programs containing both a data item         *
  *                 definition and a user-defined type           *
  *                 definition with the same name.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New function: A user-defined type and   *
  *                      data item are now allowed to share the  *
  *                      same name.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF.                  *

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The compiler was updated so that type names and data names are
  entirely independent and can no longer collide with each other,
  so a name can now be used as both a data name and a type name in
  the same scope of a program.
