Error description

  • After application of service containing the fix for APAR
    PH71340, Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V6.5 may incorrectly issue
    message IGYDS2273-S for a valid SQL TYPE IS XML AS CLOB(1M) data
    declaration. This declaration is valid and does not require
    END-EXEC. The problem occurs only in a narrow combination of
    circumstances involving SQL TYPE declarations and subsequent SQL
    coprocessor warning processing.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
    *                 programs with the SQL option, where the      *
    *                 program includes a data description entry    *
    *                 containing the SQL TYPE clause and where the *
    *                 next SQL-related code processed by the       *
    *                 compiler after that data description entry   *
    *                 happens to result in a warning from the Db2  *
    *                 co-processor (e.g., DSNH204I).               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect compile-time message:         *
    *                                                              *
    *                      IGYDS2273-S An "SQL" statement was      *
    *                      found without a matching                *
    *                      "END-EXEC".  The "SQL" statement was    *
    *                      discarded.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler was interpreting the Db2 co-processor warning under
    these conditions as an indication that an END-EXEC delimiter had
    not been found, even though an END-EXEC was not expected after
    an SQL TYPE clause.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to correctly interpret the warning from
    the Db2 co-processor in this case.
