Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise PL/I customers using the fetch    *
  *                 statement from a PL/I program compiled with  *
  *                 NORENT option to fetch a PL/I procedure      *
  *                 compiled with RENT option.                   *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Currently there are restrictions for    *
  *                      fetching RENT program from the NORENT   *
  *                      routine. When that occurs the program   *
  *                      will fail with operation exception      *
  *                      ABEND0C1 without explanation of the     *
  *                      error.                                  *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a PL/I program compiled with the NORENT option fetches a
  PL/I procedure compiled with the RENT option, the program will
  fail with operation exception ABEND0C1 but without providing
  additional information about the actual error.
  
  This APAR, along with PI44449, provides the run-time library
  changes to the enhancement of a better message in the error
  situation wherein a NORENT program fetches a PL/I program that
  is compiled with RENT option.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The PL/I runtime now verify if the fetched module has followed
  the restrictions when fetched by the PL/I program compiled with
  the NORENT option. The library routine is changed to issue a new
  IBM0598S message instead of ABEND0C1 to better describing the
  actual error.
