Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.3 compiling    *
    *                 programs that contain reference              *
    *                 modifications of data items in WORKING-      *
    *                 STORAGE that are members of a group whose    *
    *                 offset in bytes from the start of the group  *
    *                 is greater than the length of the data item  *
    *                 or whose offset plus the length of the       *
    *                 reference modification is greater than the   *
    *                 length of the data item.                     *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler was incorrectly ignoring the offset of the data
    item from the start of the group when determining if reference
    modifications were within the bounds of the data item.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was fixed to account for the offset of the data
    item from the start of the group when determining if reference
    modifications were within the bounds of the data item.
