APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using OPT(FULL) and THREAD option the compiler loops on
statement that contains RANDOM.


With NOOPT the following compiler messages are received:

IGYAS5125-U   The compilation was terminated due to a compiler
error in phase id:  "IGYCASM1".

IGYAS5100-U   A register resolution failure occurred.

Local fix

  • Compile with NOTHREAD

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V4 who use the     *
*                 intrinsic function RANDOM and the compiler   *
*                 option THREAD.                               *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Loop during compile.                    *
*                                                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
****************************************************************
When compiling with the THREAD compiler option, the code to call
the internal lock/unlock for FUNCTION RANDOM was incorrect.

Problem conclusion

  • The COBOL compiler is changed to correctly call the internal
LOCK/RELEASE.

Temporary fix
