Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Compiler displays warning IGYLI0020-W when the COPYLOC compiler

  characters.
  

Local fix

• Ignore the IGYLI0020-W warning.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL v6.5 compiling     *
  *                 programs with the COPYLOC compiler option in *
  *                 effect and there exists a mix of data set    *
  *                 and z/OS UNIX copybook locations to search   *
  *                 (including possibly the SYSLIB ddname        *
  *                 allocated in JCL) and where the program      *
  *                 being compiled contains a COPY statement     *
  *                 referring to a copybook with a name longer   *
  *                 than 8 characters and/or contains characters *
  *                 that are illegal for data set members, but   *
  *                 the copybook was never intended to be found  *
  *                 in a data set and is actually located in one *
  *                 of the z/OS UNIX paths indicated by COPYLOC, *
  *                 where the original name is legal.            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Extraneous compile-time warning or      *
  *                      error messages indicating that one or   *
  *                      more data sets associated with the      *
  *                      corresponding library were searched but *
  *                      the name of the copybook was modified   *
  *                      for the search (truncated and/or        *
  *                      illegal characters substituted with     *
  *                      '0'). However, the copybook with full,  *
  *                      original name was later found on z/OS   *
  *                      UNIX so the warning/error was           *
  *                      misleading and unnecessary (though not  *
  *                      harmful).                               *
  *                                                              *
  *                      IGYLI0020-W   Name "COPYBOOK1234" was   *
  *                       processed as "COPYBOOK"                *
  *                                                              *
  *                      GYLI0025-E   Name "COP<COP<" was        *
  *                       invalid.  It was processed as          *
  *                       "COP0COP0"                             *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was allowing warnings and errors produced when
  searching an MVS data set concatenation with a copybook name
  that was truncated and/or had illegal characters substituted
  with '0' to be reported even when the copybook with full,
  original name was subsequently found in a z/OS UNIX path.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated so that when COPYLOC is in effect,
  errors/warnings relating to copybook names being too long, or
  containing characters that are not legal for MVS data set
  members, are suppressed if the copybook is not found in the MVS
  data set concatenation. If the modified copybook name does match
  an MVS data set member, the match will be accepted (as has
  always been the case in Enterprise COBOL) and warnings and/or
  errors will continue to be reported to let the user know that a
  match was made using a name that was modified (e.g., truncated
  and/or illegal characters substituted with '0'). If such a name
  does not match any MVS data set members, however, we no longer
  will report any errors or warnings when COPYLOC is in effect. If
  the copybook is ultimately not found in any copybook locations,
  that will be reported as normal.
