APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
With optimization, the compiler is in some case miscalculating reference modification related addresses for purposes of validation, leading to the IGYCB7315-W message. If the compiler subsequently combines statements for which an IGYCB7315-W message was issued, there can be apparently spurious multiple instances of such a message for the same statement.
Local fix
Compile at OPT(0) or OPT(1).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling * * complex programs with OPT(2) that contains * * reference modifications to data items * * defined in WORKING-STORAGE. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler issues message MSGIGYCB7315-W * * A REFERENCE MODIFIER WITH A * * NON-POSITIVE VALUE WAS FOUND. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF * **************************************************************** In rare cases, the compiler incorrectly calculates the starting position of the reference modification in a data item defined within WORKING-STORAGE.
Problem conclusion
The compiler has been fixed to correctly calculate the start position of the reference modification into a data item in above cases.
