APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The COBOL wrapper libraries were changed from type LINKFILE to DLL in the v5.3.1.8 Fixpack, and the packaging unintentionally stripped the symbols from the Guardian variant of the library ZWMQBIN.MQMCB. During the link phase of a cobal program build, on HP Nonstop systems, the following fatal error is encountered: "Cannot use file specified in CONSULT or SEARCH directive \NSK97.$DV06.ZWMQBIN.MQMCB [Warning 614]".
Local fix
There is no functional difference between the OSS and Guardian versions of this library. The OSS variant of the library does contain the symbols and should be used to build Guardian applications in v5.3.1.8 by copying the library into the Guardian filesystem and changing it's filecode to 800. Alternatively, the MQMCB library from v5.3.1.7 can be used. There are NO functional differences between the v5.3.1.7 and v5.3.1.8 MQMCB libraries, the only change is in the file type and the addition of the VPROC in v5.3.1.8.
Problem summary
The COBOL wrapper libraries were changed from type LINKFILE to DLL in the v5.3.1.8 Fixpack, and the packaging unintentionally stripped the symbols from the Guardian variant of the library ZWMQBIN.MQMCB.
Problem conclusion
Remove the stripping of mqmcb in gbin/mqmcb from the packaging process
Temporary fix
There is no functional difference between the OSS and Guardian versions of this library. The OSS variant of the library does contain the symbols and should be used to build Guardian applications in v5.3.1.8 by copying the library into the Guardian filesystem and changing the filecode (800 on H series operating systems, 700 on G series operating systems).
