Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.5 compiling      *
    *                 programs that contain code that splits a     *
    *                 reference modification operation across two  *
    *                 lines such that the ':' operator is at the   *
    *                 end of the first line and the next line      *
    *                 begins with the debugging mode 'D' character *
    *                 in column 7.                                 *

    *                      discarded.                              *
    *                                                              *
    *                      IGYPS2070-E   Expected a right          *

    *                      in the "DISPLAY" statement.  A right    *
    *                      parenthesis was assumed before          *
    *                      "<data-name>".                          *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    Enhancements to the compiler tokenizer for the new high-low
    qualification operator :: in Enterprise COBOL 6.5 was not
    correctly handling the line split scenario for debugging mode
    code involving a reference modification operation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to ensure that the line split scenario
    for debugging mode code involving a reference modification
    operation is correctly handled.
