PH02935: In a batch compilation, the compiler fails to reset the working-storage and compiler static sizes between compile units

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling more than one compile unit in the same compiler
  invocation (known as a batch compile), the compiler fails to
  reset the working-storage and compiler static sizes to zero
  between compile units; the sizes become cumulative over the
  batch.
  
  This is evident from the LIST and MAP outputs. The PPA4 "Entry
  Point Constants" entry for working-storage length eg. "Length
  DATA31" is cumulative, as is the "WSA allocation size" field in
  the compile unit prolog. These incorrect sizes also result in
  incorrect allocation of these areas at run-time.
  

Local fix

• Compile one compile unit at a time
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.x compiling     *
  *                 programs in batch mode.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The field giving the Length of DATA31   *
  *                      in PPA4 is cumulative between           *
  *                      programs.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The field giving the Length of DATA31 in PPA4 was not being
  reset between batch compiles.
  

Problem conclusion

• Compiler was updated to reset the value for each compile.
