APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The sign nibble in the receiver is explicitly set to an appropriate value after the move, which is inconsistent with the behavior of programs compiled with pre-V5 compilers, which maintain the invalid sign nibble after the move.
Local fix
Fix invalid data in your program.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling and * * running programs compiled with the * * ZONEDATA(NOPFD|MIG) option in effect and * * the following conditions occur: * * 1. the program contains a MOVE statement * * that moves a zoned decimal sender to a * * zoned decimal receiver * * 2. the zoned decimal receiver has different * * sign and/or length properties than the * * zoned decimal sender * * 3. the zoned decimal sender contains an * * invalid sign nibble. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The sign nibble in the receiver is * * explicitly set to an appropriate value * * after the move, which is inconsistent * * with the behavior of programs compiled * * with pre-V5 compilers, which maintain * * the invalid sign nibble after the * * move. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When option ZONEDATA(NOPFD|MIG) is in effect, the compiler was inadvertently generating code to fix up bad sign nibbles in zoned to zoned moves in situations where that wasn't being done in pre-V5 compilers.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to match the pre-V5 behavior for fixing sign nibbles for zoned to zoned moves when option ZONEDATA(NOPFD|MIG) is in effect.
