Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 or later * * releases running programs which call, by * * procedure pointer, the alternate entry * * point of another COBOL V5 or later program. * * * * Also users who have applied PH23903. * * The affected PTFs in error are * * * * V2R2: UI69091 * * V2R3: UI69093 * * V2R4: UI69094 * * (Runtime April 2020 PTF) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The caller program terminates with 0C4 * * ABEND, or produces incorrect outputs in * * subsequent static calls due to storage * * corruption. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** Due to incorrect handling of writable static area in the COBOL Runtime (i.e. the address in the CRENT field in LE CAA+0x1F4), V5+ programs might terminate with 0C4 ABEND, or produce incorrect outputs with later static calls (after the current procedure pointer call returns), when all of the following conditions are met prior to the call: - COBOL V5+ program is calling another COBOL V5+ using procedure pointer - The caller and callee are in different program objects - The callee is entered through an alternate entry point - The callee has been initialized; that is, it has been called before. Note: V5+ means V5 or later releases COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K COB0603T/K
Problem conclusion
The handing of writable static in COBOL Runtime is corrected.
