Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the IBM Automatic Binary        *
    *                 Optimizer (ABO) for z/OS                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In rare cases a MOVE statement between  *
    *                      1 byte data items of the same display,  *
    *                      internal decimal or alphanumeric type   *
    *                      may not be executed in the specific     *
    *                      set of conditions below.                *
    *                                                              *
    *                      For example, a statement such as MOVE   *
    *                      X TO Y may not be executed when:        *
    *                                                              *
    *                      - the data items X and Y are each 1     *
    *                      byte and declared to be the same        *
    *                      display, internal decimal or            *
    *                      alphanumeric type                       *
    *                      - the data items X and Y are declared   *
    *                      to be directly adjacent in storage      *
    *                      - the MOVE X TO Y statement directly    *
    *                      follows a conditionally executed block  *
    *                      of code                                 *
    *                      - the conditionally executed block of   *
    *                      code contains a single MOVE statement   *
    *                      of a literal to data item X             *
    *                                                              *
    *                      Example source for one case is below:   *
    *                                                              *

    *                                 05 X   PIC 9(1).             *
    *                                 05 Y   PIC 9(1).             *
    *                             PROCEDURE DIVISION.              *
    *                                 IF some-condition            *
    *                                    MOVE 1 TO X.              *
    *                                 MOVE X TO Y.                 *
    *                                                              *
    *                      When some-condition is false the        *
    *                      conditional block is not executed, and  *
    *                      due to the problem described in this    *
    *                      APAR, the MOVE X to Y statement is      *
    *                      also not executed.                      *
    *                                                              *
    *                      When some-condition is true the         *
    *                      conditional block is executed and the   *
    *                      MOVE X to Y statement will be executed  *
    *                      so the problem described in this APAR   *
    *                      does not happen.                        *
    *                                                              *
    *                      The correct behavior is that the MOVE   *
    *                      X to Y statement should be executed     *
    *                      regardless of the value of              *
    *                      some-condition.                         *
