APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: N/A . Stack Trace: N/A . A loop fails to properly respect its termination condition, for example by running for an extra iteration. One particular consequence is that com/ibm/as400/access/AS400PackedDecimal may unexpectedly throw NumberFormatException. However, the symptoms may vary in general.
Local fix
The issue might be prevented by -Xjit:disableGLU, but it is possible that it could manifest via another optimization.
Problem summary
In certain circumstances, a loop analysis could make an incorrect conclusion about the termination condition of a loop with a particular rare pattern of intermediate code. Such an incorrect conclusion could cause later optimizations to incorrectly transform the loop.
Problem conclusion
The compiler has been modified so that this loop analysis will avoid making this kind of incorrect conclusion on loops of the problematic form. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR3 FP10 (8.0.3.10) 7 SR9 FP50 (7.0.9.50) 7 R1 SR3 FP50 (7.1.3.50) 6 R1 SR8 FP30 (6.1.8.30) .
