Error description

  • The compiler fails to generate code for an IF statement.

    "informational" level for messages other than IGYPS8233-E.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL Version 4.2 who    *
    *                 use the compiler option FLAGSTD(H) to enable *
    *                 FIPS messages and the compiler option        *
    *                 MSGEXIT to suppress some of them.            *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a message is suppressed the        *
    *                      compiler may also suppress the          *
    *                      generated code for the statement.       *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The Enterprise COBOL compiler was incorrectly deleting generated
    code on statements that had FIPS messages that the user
    suppressed via the MSGEXIT routine.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The Enterprise COBOL compiler is changed to correctly generate
    code when a FIPS message is suppressed.
