Error description
IGYDS0197-E "11" was a name that started with an underscore. If a DBCS data-name starts with an underscore, the error message is wrongly seen as a number, perhaps the number is the column. The error message should display the data-name in error, not its column number. IGYDS0197-E is wrongly given for a data-name ending in an underscore. It is permitted to end a data-name with underscore. Please see APAR PM90417.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V4.2 users with DBCS * * character versions of underscore in * * user names. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: There are 2 possible incorrect * * diagnostic messages that could be * * received. One is if a user name starts * * or ends with a DBCS underscore: * * IGYDS0197-E "11" was a name that * * started with an underscore. * * (The error message has a column number * * as insert, not the DBCS name) * * The second error is that there should * * not be any mesage for a trailing * * DBCS underscore at all. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The compiler was incorrectly checking for DBCS underscore at the end of user names, and was putting the column number in the message for leading DBCS undersacore instead of the user name in error.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to diagnose DBCS underscores only at the beginning of user words, and to use the user word as a message insert instead of the column number.
