PH18205: Compiler module providing index item lengths to DWARF data dump was not sensitive to specified AMODE.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Incorrect runtime results: In AMODE64, DWARF data incorrectly
  shows the length of index items as 4-bytes instead of the
  correct value of 8-bytes.
  
  USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.3 performing a
  DWARF data dump on programs which contain index items which were
  compiled and ran in AMODE64. (LP(64) compiler option was
  specified during the compile).
  
  CONCLUSION: Compiler updated to provide AMODE checking for index
  item lengths provided to DWARF data dump.
  
  RECOMMENDATION TO CUSTOMER: Install the IBM provided PTF

  ****************************************************************
  The Compiler was not using the specified AMODE setting when
  providing index item lengths to the DWARF data dump.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was changed to add the proper AMODE checking for
  index item lengths provided to DWARF data dump.
