Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• REPLACING (of COPY statement) does not work on EXEC SQL text
  

Local fix

• Add spaces on either side of the "." in the pseudo-text:
  
  :TITXHT<space>.<space>COR-GL-DATE== BY ==NULL=
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling      *
  *                 programs with the SQL option in effect and   *
  *                 the program contains a COPY...REPLACING or   *
  *                 REPLACE statement where the search string    *
  *                 specified in pseudo text is a reference to   *
  *                 a fully-qualified SQL host variable name     *
  *                 containing a period character.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: COPY...REPLACING and REPLACE statements *
  *                      fail to match the host variable name    *
  *                      properly and substitutions are not      *
  *                      performed as expected.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The library phase tokenizer was inadvertently breaking the SQL
  host variable name containing a period (which is not a legal
  COBOL identifier) into multiple parts, which confused the
  COPY...REPLACING and REPLACE statement matching algorithms.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated so that the library phase tokenizer
  treats the fully-qualified SQL host variable name as one string
  of text for matching purposes.
  

Temporary fix
