JR45476: MAINFRAME JOB FAILS WHEN COMPILING IN MAINFRAME AFTER BEING SUCCESSFULLY GENERATED WITH 8.7.

IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Version 9.1.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Mainframe job that used to work correctly in 7.5 has a problem
  in 8.7.0
  
  In 8.7 when doing the generate code, in the jobname.cob file
  we find the following statement:
  
  IF SQLCODE = 0 THEN
  END-IF
  
  This line causes a compile error in mainframe.
  
  In 7.5, the same job did not create this statement in the
  jobname.cob file.
  
  This was fixed in 91 as a RTC defect.  The code needs to be
  backported 87.
  

Local fix

• End user can safely remove the
  two lines of COLBOL code:
  
         IF SQLCODE = 0 THEN
         END-IF
  
  conpile and run the job.
  

Problem summary

• An Empty IF statement was generated in COBOL for Merge Join
  Stage in the product Mainframe DataStage, causing compiling
  error from mainframe COBOL compiler.
  

Problem conclusion

• To fix the problem a CONTINUE statement is added into the
  generated COBOL from Merge Join Stage to make sure that no IF
  statement is empty.
  

Temporary fix
