Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 and later     *
  *                 releases compiling programs with PERFORM     *
  *                 statements and need to find the PERFORM      *
  *                 internal control variables in CEEDUMP when   *

  NEW FUNCTION: Two new entries has been added to the Base Locator
  Table in Enterprise COBOL V6.2 and later releases: PfmSv_Cells
  and VN_Cells via APAR PH09338. The addresses of PfmSv_Cells and
  VN_Cells are now discoverable through the base locator table
  instead of parsing the listing. The number of PfmSv_Cells and
  VN_Cells and their addresses are now printed in the CEEDUMP
  when run with LE options TER(DUMP) or TER(UADUMP).
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The runtime has been updated to print out the number of PERFORM
  save cells (PfmSv_cells) and Variable name cells (VN_Cells) of
  PERFORM statements in the CEEDUMP along with their addresses
  when a program is run with LE options TER(DUMP) or TER(UADUMP).
