Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.3 whose COBOL   *
  *                 programs contain dynamic-length elementary   *
  *                 items and compile with the TEST option.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This compiler error message is issued:  *
  *                      IGYDS1539-W   The "DYNAMIC LENGTH"      *
  *                      clause is not supported when the        *
  *                      TEST option is in effect.  The          *
  *                      "DYNAMIC LENGTH" clause was accepted.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  This PTF adds support for compiling programs with the TEST
  option that contain dynamic-length elementary items.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to allow compiling programs that
  contain dynamic-length elementary items with the TEST option
  without encountering compile time warning message IGYDS1539-W.
