Error description
COBOL runtime error in handling External Files plus error when using procedure pointers
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5.1 users who are * * using External Files. Also, users * * who are using Procedure pointer. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. There was an error in managing the * * file control information in external * * files. This caused corruption in * * the file control block when the file * * was also accessed by COBOL V4.2 * * and prior programs. * * * * 2. If a Procedure Pointer was set by a * * COBOL V5.1 program to point to a * * subprogram, and this Procedure Pointer * * was later used by COBOL V4.2 and * * prior programs, the subprogram might * * be reset into its initial state in the * * second call. The expected behavior * * was for the subprogram to retain * * its last use state (working-storage * * variables in last use values). * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 1. COBOL runtime error in handling External Files. 2. COBOL runtime error when using Procedure Pointers. FIXCAT keywords: COB0501T/K
