PH14291: A FORMAT 3 "DIVIDE ID1 BY NNN GIVING ID2 REMAINDER ID3" WITH ID1 & ID2 AS SAME VARIABLE GIVES WRONG REMAINDER FOR ARCH(12)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A format 3 "DIVIDE id1 BY nnn GIVING id2 REMAINDER id3" when
  id1 and id2 point to the same variable gives the wrong
  remainder under ARCH(12), but works correctly under ARCH(11).
  
  DIVIDE W-CH-SUM BY 10 GIVING W-CH-SUM
         REMAINDER W-CH-REMAINDER
  
  When id1 and id2 are the same data item, the remainder value is
  incorrect under ARCH(12).
  When id2 and id2 are not the same data item, the remainder is
  always correct.
  

Local fix

• Compile under ARCH(11) or below.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2, compiling    *
  *                 programs at ARCH(12) that contain a DIVIDE   *
  *                 with REMAINDER where the dividend and        *
  *                 quotient are the same data item.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The remainder incorrectly contains the  *
  *                      same value as the quotient.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When calculating the remainder, the compiler loaded the value of
  the dividend after calculating the quotient. Since the dividend
  and quotient use the same data item, this loads the quotient,
  not the dividend, before specifying the remainder.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler is fixed to generate the correct remainder value.
