Error description
After application of service containing the fix for APAR PH71340, Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V6.5 may incorrectly issue message IGYDS2273-S for a valid SQL TYPE IS XML AS CLOB(1M) data declaration. This declaration is valid and does not require END-EXEC. The problem occurs only in a narrow combination of circumstances involving SQL TYPE declarations and subsequent SQL coprocessor warning processing.
Local fix
No Local fix is available.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling * * programs with the SQL option, where the * * program includes a data description entry * * containing the SQL TYPE clause and where the * * next SQL-related code processed by the * * compiler after that data description entry * * happens to result in a warning from the Db2 * * co-processor (e.g., DSNH204I). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect compile-time message: * * * * IGYDS2273-S An "SQL" statement was * * found without a matching * * "END-EXEC". The "SQL" statement was * * discarded. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was interpreting the Db2 co-processor warning under these conditions as an indication that an END-EXEC delimiter had not been found, even though an END-EXEC was not expected after an SQL TYPE clause.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to correctly interpret the warning from the Db2 co-processor in this case.
