PH22833: COBOL COMPILE JOB FAILS WHILE REGISTERING AGAINST DISABLED ENTERPRISE COBOL PRODUCT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The COBOL compiler should register compile jobs against VUE
  COBOL when both
  Enterprise COBOL and VUE COBOL are in the IFAPRDxx PARMLIB
  entry and
  Enterprise COBOL is disabled and VUE COBOL is enabled.
  

Local fix

• Ensure there is only a single entry for COBOL compiler products
  in the IFAPRDxx parmlib member.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling      *
  *                 programs on a system where the IFAPRDxx      *
  *                 parmlib member contains, either explicitly   *
  *                 or via a wildcard, an entry for the          *
  *                 Enterprise COBOL product that is disabled,   *
  *                 and the IFAPRDxx parmlib member also         *
  *                 contains an entry for the VUE COBOL product  *
  *                 that is enabled.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The compiler attempts to register the   *
  *                      compile job against Enterprise COBOL    *
  *                      instead of VUE COBOL, which results in  *
  *                      a compiler abort with the following     *
  *                      message:                                *
  *                                                              *
  *                      IGYSI5304-U Enterprise COBOL was        *
  *                      disabled in SYS1.PARMLIB(IFAPRDxx)      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  Previously, when both Enterprise COBOL and VUE COBOL were found
  in the IFAPRDxx parmlib member, COBOL compile jobs were
  deliberately registered against Enterprise COBOL, even if the
  Enterprise COBOL entry indicated the product was disabled.
  This would result in an error that would force users to address
  the fact that there were multiple COBOL products contained in
  IFAPRDxx.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated so that, for the user's convenience, if
  an entry for Enterprise COBOL and VUE COBOL are both found in
  IFAPRDxx, if the Enterprise COBOL entry is disabled and the VUE
  COBOL entry is enabled, then the compile job will be registered
  against VUE COBOL, and it is assumed that this situation was
  intentional on the user's part.
