Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling and  *
  *                 running programs that have a redefined data  *
  *                 item as the first or last data item in       *
  *                 working storage.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Information in PPA4 indicating the      *
  *                      offset of the first user data item in   *
  *                      working storage and the length of the   *
  *                      user working storage area may be        *
  *                      incorrect. This may affect the          *
  *                      behavior of tools that rely on this     *
  *                      information.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was not taking into account redefined data items
  when calculating the beginning and length of user working
  storage.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to take into account redefined data
  items when calculating the beginning and length of user working
  storage.
