Error description

  • USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL v6.2 compiling
    programs with PERFORM statements attempting
    to find addresses of internal PERFORM
    variables (all VN_Cells and PfmSv_Cells).
    
    The Base Locator Table was updated to add two new entires:
    PfmSv_Cells and VN_Cells. The addresses of PfmSv_Cells and
    VN_Cells are now discoverable through the base locator table
    instead of parsing the listing.
    

Local fix

  • Parse the listing.
