APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When compiling COBOL program with invocation parameter TEST(S,EJPD), the corresponding compiler option in effect is TEST(NOEJPD,SOURCE). Using the abbreviation for SOURCE, if specified prior to EJPD in sub options, causes NOEJPD to be in effect.
Local fix
Specify TEST(SOURCE,EJDP) or TEST(EJPD,S)
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * with the TEST(S,EJPD) compiler option using * * the abbreviation S for SOURCE. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The wrong TEST sub-option takes effect * * at compile time: When compiling a * * program with the TEST(S,EJPD) compiler * * option the compiler option in effect * * ends up to be TEST(NOEJPD,SOURCE). * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** When compiling with TEST(S,EJPD) the compiler erroneously skipped the EJPD sub-option. So the option in effect ended up TEST(NOEJPD,SOURCE).
Problem conclusion
The compiler was modified so to not skip the EJPD sub-option when SOURCE is abbreviated with S in TEST(S,EJPD)
