    IGYPG5125-U   The compilation was terminated due to a compiler
    error in
                 phase id:  "IGYCPGEN".
    
    
    IGYPG5201-U   Internal compiler error code "IpgAttA" occurred.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 whose COBOL    *
    *                 programs contain a JSON PARSE statement      *
    *                 where the JSON PARSE receiver item contains  *
    *                 a variably located area.                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiling such programs may result with *
    *                      compile time terminating error          *
    *                      IGYPG5201-U (Internal compiler error    *
    *                      code "IpgAttA").                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When compiling a program with the JSON PARSE statement when the
    receiver contains a variably located area, an internal compiler
    error may occur that causes the aforementioned terminating
    error. The error is intermittent - depending on various
    combinations of program statements and options - it may not
    always be reproducible.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler has been fixed to properly handle variably located
    areas in the JSON PARSE receiver. The terminating error message
    is no longer issued.
