APAR status
Closed as new function.
Error description
The earlier APAR PI47994 suggests there are to be no quotes or apostrophes around the COPYRIGHT or SERVICE strings, and hyphens or underscores be used instead of spaces to meet assembler coding requirements. The documentation updates to reflect this were not made.
Local fix
Follow the recommendations of PI47994.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Administrators of the Enterprise COBOL V6.2 * * compiler, setting the installation default * * option settings COPYRIGHT or SERVICE in * * their IGYCDOPT installation defaults * * module. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect output: When the COPYRIGHT * * or SERVICE compiler options are * * specified in the IGYCDOPT installation * * defaults file, the string value for * * these options will include the opening * * and closing apostrophe, as part of the * * option setting. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The string values for the COPYRIGHT or SERVICE compiler options are handled differently, depending on whether they were specified in the IGYCDOPT installation defaults module, or at compiler invocation time. When part of the installation defaults, the opening and closing apostrophe becomes part of the string value. On compiler invocation, the opening and closing apostrophes are stripped off the string.
Problem conclusion
The compiler has been changed so it consistently strips off the opening and closing apostrophe on the string value given for the COPYRIGHT or SERVICE options, regardless of where they were specified.
