Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.5 compiling * * programs that make extensive use of the COPY * * statement with REPLACING phrase. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile time error during the scan * * phase indicating some form of syntax * * error. For example: * * * * IGYPS2010-E Procedure-name "XX" * * was found in area "B" followed by a * * period or section. The * * procedure-name was processed as * * if found in area "A". * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was maintaining a work area in memory that needed to grow dynamically. In a particular edge case, a book-keeping structure was not updated properly to reflect the addition of a new block of memory to the work area.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to ensure that library phase book-keeping structures are always updated properly when growth of a work area occurs.
