APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
.
Stack Trace: N/A
.

Local fix

  • A workaround is to disable to use -Xnodfpbd.  There might be an
impact to BigDecimal performance with this option.

Problem summary

  • The Java virtual machine (JVM) incorrectly calls a private stub
routine for java/math/BigDecimal.DFPBCDDigits, used within
certain DFP related paths of BigDecimal.toString, instead of
generating the corresponding convert instruction to packed
decimal.   This problem is exposed only on 31-bit zLinux JVMs,
or 31-bit zOS JVMs on z10 architecture.

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
6.0.1 SR2
7.0.0 SR1
.
The JVM has been updated to generate the proper convert
instruction for java/math/BigDecimal.DFPBCDDigits on the
affected platforms.
