APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IGYPG3327-U   Code generation is seen when using
  FUNCTION RANDOM.
  This happens when using compile time option ARITH(EXTEND).
  

Local fix

• Use compiler option ARITH(COMPAT).
  If that's impossible, consider writing a small subroutine that
  only has a single statement in it for the FUNCTION RANDOM.
  Compile that one with ARITH(COMPAT).
  Call this small subroutine when you need a random number.
  

Problem summary

• FUNCTION RANDOM gives IGYPG3327-U error.
  

Problem conclusion

• Solved by COBOL for AIX version 4.1.1.7.
  

Temporary fix
