PI06128: IGYDS0197-E "11" WAS A NAME THAT STARTED WITH AN UNDERSCORE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IGYDS0197-E "11" was a name that started with an underscore.
  If a DBCS data-name starts with an underscore, the error message
  is wrongly seen as a number, perhaps the number is the column.
  The error message should display the data-name in error, not
  its column number.
  IGYDS0197-E is wrongly given for a data-name ending in an
  underscore. It is permitted to end a data-name with underscore.
   Please see APAR PM90417.

  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was incorrectly checking for DBCS underscore at the
  end of user names, and was putting the column number in the
  message for leading DBCS undersacore instead of the user name in
  error.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was changed to diagnose DBCS underscores only at
  the beginning of user words, and to use the user word as a
  message insert instead of the column number.
