Fix list and new features for Enterprise COBOL for z/OS

Product Documentation

Abstract

This document contains a complete listing of releases, refreshes and fix packs (also known as PTFs) sorted by version for IBM Enterprise COBOL 5.x/6.x for z/OS. The PTFs contain APAR fixes and new function APARs delivered as part of the continuous delivery process. We recommend installing the latest PTFs as they are cumulative (i.e. they contain all the APAR fixes made available for the product since it first shipped).

COBOL Runtime General Information:
LLA is designed to minimize disk I/O by keeping load modules in a VLF (virtual look-aside facility)
dataspace and keeping a version of the library directory in its own address space. If the runtime
dataset CEE.SCEERUN is managed by the LLA facility at your site, then refresh LLA/VLA after you
apply the COBOL runtime (LE) PTF(s).

COBOL V6.3 COMPILER TRIAL PTFs:
==> UI76473 (HAKH630), UI76474 (JAKH632), UI76475 (JAKH631), UI76476(JAKH63H).
   ==> PRE-REQ LE PTFs: V2R2: UI65064
   ==> PRE-REQ LE PTFs: V2R3: UI65062; UI65063 (AMODE64 only)
   ==> PRE-REQ LE PTFs: V2R4: UI65058; UI65059 (AMODE64 only)

Important Announcement:
If the September, 2021 COBOL runtime PTF(s) listed below are not applied on all systems

where your COBOL programs run, then you should begin applying the PTF(s) immediately. See https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/notification-upcoming-dependency-requirement-between-enterprise-cobol-v62-v63-compilers-and-cobol-v5-runtime-1 for details.

Helpful Hints For Obtaining Technical Assistance:

Before contacting IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS Support, gather the background information that you need to describe the problem. When you describe a problem to an IBM software support specialist, be as specific as possible and include all relevant background information so that the specialist can help you solve the problem efficiently. To save time, know the answers to these questions:

Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps and compiler options do you use to reproduce it?
Can the issue be reduced to a small test case?
Can the test case be provided to IBM?
What compiler version and fix pack level were you using when the problem occurred?
Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.

If you have helpful information to diagnose or identify the problem on your system, you can provide this data by following the instructions to exchange information with IBM Technical Support .

The September 2020 compiler PTFs (UI71591, UI71592, UI71593, UI71594) are dependent upon the September 2019 Runtime PTFs V2R2 UI65064 / V2R3 UI65062; UI65063(AMODE64 only)/ V2R4 UI65058; UI65059(AMODE64 only). Programs compiled with the September 2020 compiler PTFs must have the above Runtime PTFs applied on all systems where these programs are compiled and run.

If the new intrinsic function UUID4, Dynamic length items, UTF-8 or JSON GENERATE NAME IS OMITTED features are used, then the November 2019 Runtime PTFs V2R2 UI66560 / V2R3 UI66555; UI66561(AMODE64 only)/ V2R4 UI66557; UI66566(AMODE64 only) must also be applied on all systems where these programs are linked or run.

The NUMCHECK compiler option now generates an implicit numeric class test for each alphanumeric sender whose contents are being MOVEd to a numeric receiver. Prior to this PTF, alphanumeric senders were not checked. There was no APAR for this change, but the change is included in this PTF. Customers may see more NUMCHECK abends/messages due to this change and will need to correct their alphanumeric data so that it is truly numeric or add program logic to properly massage the invalid data.

Relevant technote:

The NUMCHECK compiler option now validates the contents of an alphanumeric data item used as a sender to a numeric data item in a MOVE statement.

For z/OS 2.3 and z/OS 2.4, the following LE runtime APAR is required to run programs that make use of APAR PH40684 (COBOL RT support for dynamic call in mixed AMODE programs):
APAR PH28966 (Language Environment enhancements for mixed AMODE programs)

1)APAR PH40311 (COBOL compiler enhancements for >>DATA directive for AMODE64 programs)
2)If you plan to use this the new >>DATA directive in your program, or if your program contains EXTERNAL data items and is compiled with the LP(64) compiler option in effect, then COBOL Runtime LE APAR PH40348 must also be applied on all systems where these programs are linked or run.

In recent years, as most clients are well underway on their migration from COBOL 4, and Multi-Version Measurement (MVM) has replaced Single Version Charging (SVC), the demand for Enterprise COBOL trials has tapered off. The trial version of Enterprise COBOL is planned to be discontinued. IBM Enterprise COBOL Developer Trial for z/OS 6.3 will no longer be updated with the latest PTF content beyond the July 2021 PTF. To try the latest features of Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, order the latest Enterprise COBOL version. If you have any questions, contact your IBM representative.
