Closed as program error.
Error description
In V6.3, the addition of the "AS FIXED LENGTH" in the USING phrase causes a problem when "AS" is used as a data item. Because "AS" is not considered a reserved word, the compiler is being fixed to properly recognize "AS FIXED LENGTH" and not get hung up on "AS".
Local fix
Change the data item "AS" to another name.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 6.3 * * compiler whose COBOL programs contain * * data items with the name "AS" where the * * data item is used on a USING phrase * * of the COBOL CALL statement. * * For example: * * CALL 'program' USING AS * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The compiler terminates with severe * * error message IGYPS0088-S. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** An internal compiler problem causes the compiler to improperly issue message IGYPS0088-S when a data item with the name "AS" is specified on the USING phrase of the CALL statement.
Problem conclusion
The internal compiler problem was fixed.
