PM86835: PLI COMPILER MESSAGE IBM1678I OCCURS WHEN USING INCLUDE MEMBERS CMQP AND CMQXP.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PLI compiler message IBM1678I occurs when using include members
  CMQP and CMQXP.
  
  Message   Message Description
  IBM1678I  Assignment of POINTER to FIXED BIN is invalid.
  
  
  The program compiles ok when we use the V6 include members. We
  get two messages IBM1678I when we use the V701 include members.
  
  The problem is that structure fields like securityparmsptr have
  changed from pointer to fixed bin(31). If the fixed bin field
  will be changed to a pointer field then MSGIBM1678I does not
  occur.
  

Local fix

• use V6 include members from SCSQPLIC.

  ****************************************************************
  Certain MQ control block fields that may contain pointers are
  incorrectly defined as having the type "fixed binary(31)" rather
  than "pointer".
  
  When compiling a PL/I program that assigns a pointer to any of
  these fields, the compiler may emit the following warning:
  
  IBM1678I Assignment of POINTER to FIXED BIN is invalid.
  

Problem conclusion

• The affected pointer fields have had their type corrected.
