Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

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.
