    *                 COBOL programs that contain an ENTRY         *
    *                 statement with the USING phrase and a data   *
    *                 item, where the data item does not have a    *
    *                 data description entry in the DATA DIVISION. *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a COBOL program contains an ENTRY  *

    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler was encountering an unhandled internal condition
    while processing an ENTRY statement containing an undefined data
    item.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was fixed to handle the condition. The correct
    severe-level error message is now issued for the undefined data
    item.
