Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling     *
    *                 programs with the SERVICE compiler option,   *
    *                 and then running those programs and getting  *
    *                 a runtime ABEND, and then looking at the     *
    *                 resulting CEEDUMP.                           *
    *                                                              *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The string placed in the object module  *
    *                      when compiling with SERVICE wasn't      *
    *                      included in LE dumps that included a    *
    *                      traceback.                              *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler wasn't setting the necessary bit in PPA1 to
    indicate that a module was compiled with SERVICE, leaving LE
    unaware that the module had been compiled with SERVICE.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was fixed to set the correct bit in PPA1 when a
    module is compiled with SERVICE.
    

Temporary fix
