PI87662: INCORRECT COBOL STATEMENT NUMBER GIVEN IN ERROR MESSAGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When encountering a decimal divide exception , the incorrect
  statement number is given in error message CEE3211S.  This can
  occur when compiling with ARCH(10) and either OPT(1) or OPT(2).
  The failing instruction is a DP, generated for a DIVIDE
  statement; but error message points to a MOVE statement.
  

Local fix

• Compile with OPT(0) or with ARCH(9).
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling     *
  *                 and running programs using compiler options  *
  *                 OPT(1|2) and ARCH(10|11) that contain        *
  *                 COMPUTE statements that divide               *
  *                 PACKED-DECIMAL or USAGE DISPLAY numbers and  *
  *                 encounter a divide by zero condition at      *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect runtime message line number:  *
  *                      The error message for a division by     *
  *                      zero displays an incorrect line number. *
  *                                                              *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was associating an incorrect line number with a DP
  instruction, causing divisions by zero messages to display an
  incorrect line number.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to use the correct line number for DP
  instructions so that the runtime message has the correct line
  number.
  

Temporary fix
