PI62381: SERVICES IGZCA2D AND IGZCD2A HAVE DEPENDENCIES ON CODE AND DATA STRUCTURES OF SPECIFIC COBOL VERSION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The COBOL Programming Guide documents the use of IGZCA2D (MBCS
  to DBCS conversion) and IGZCD2A (DBCS to MBCS conversion),
  however these modules have dependencies on code generated by
  COBOL v4 and earlier, as well as on data structures used by the
  corresponding run-time.
  

Local fix

• None needed under COBOL v4

  IGZCA2D AND IGZCD2A HAVE REFERENCES TO INTERNAL CONTROL BLOCKS
  THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN ENTERPRISE COBOL V5+ PROGRAM.
  

Problem conclusion

• IGZCA2D AND IGZCD2A NOW ACT AS ROUTERS TO CALL V5+ ROUTINES
  OR PRE-V5 ROUTINES, BASE ON THE VERSION OF COMPILER USED TO
  COMPILE THE CALLING COBOL PROGRAM. FOR PRE-V5, THEY CALL
  IGZCA3D AND IGZCD3A; FOR V5+, THEY CALLS IGZXA2D AND IGZXD2A.
  USER MAY SEES THESE NAMES IN TRACEBACK.
