PH63477: UNUSED DYNAMIC LENGTH ITEM WITH STGOPT LEADS TO COMPILER FAILURE IGYPG5125-U IGYPG5201-U ERROR CODE "PTEXT-07"

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a DYNAMIC length item is defined but not used, and the STGOPT
  
  option is set, the compiler fails with
  
  IGYPG5125-U The compilation was terminated due to a compiler
         error in phase id: "IGYCPGEN".
  IGYPG5201-U Internal compiler error code "PTEXT-07" occurred.
  

Local fix

• Compile with NOSTGOPT or remove (comment out) the unused dynamic
  
  length item.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users compiling COBOL programs with the      *
  *                 STGOPT compiler option in effect, when the   *
  *                 program contains data items defined with the *
  *                 DYNAMIC LENGTH clause in the DATA DIVISION,  *
  *                 but with no references (as sending or        *
  *                 receiving operands) to those items in the    *
  *                 PROCEDURE DIVISION.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The compiler encounters a terminating   *
  *                      (RC 16) error and halts compilation.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM provided PTF.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  Incorrect compiler internal processing causes a compiler crash
  with a terminating error when the STGOPT compiler option is in
  effect, and DYNAMIC LENGTH items are defined in the DATA
  DIVISION but are not referenced in the PROCEDURE DIVISION.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler has been fixed. Compilations are now successful.
  

Temporary fix
