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.
