Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Automatic Binary        *
    *                 Optimizer (ABO) for z/OS, v1.2 and v1.3      *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In rare situations compiled programs    *
    *                      containing DIVIDE or MULTIPLY           *
    *                      statements may be optimized             *
    *                      incorrectly by ABO.                     *
    *                                                              *
    *                      In the rare cases where the problem is  *
    *                      present it is most likely to occur for  *
    *                      programs where :                        *
    *                      - the OPT(STD) or OPT(FULL) compiler    *
    *                      options were used to compile the input  *
    *                      program to ABO                          *
    *                      - the DIVIDE or MULTIPLY statements     *
    *                      were operating on large enough packed   *
    *                      or zoned decimal data items so the      *
    *                      operation was handled by the library    *
    *                      routine IGZCXDI or IGZCXMU in the       *
    *                      original compiled program               *
    *                                                              *
    *                      The symptom may be an unexpected        *
    *                      IGZ0061S division by zero message for   *
    *                      DIVIDE statements but other unexpected  *
    *                      behavior, abends and results are also   *
    *                      possible.                               *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    ABO was modified to correctly optimize these modules.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The ABO optimized module now behaves correctly for these DIVIDE
    and MULTIPLY statements.
