Error description
The COBOL 6.3 compiler, but not earlier versions, incorrectly generates the diagnostic IGYPS2061-S An error was found in the definition of condition-name "?". The reference to this condition-name was discarded. for a SET {condition-name} TO TRUE statement if the condition-name is defined as ALL {literal} and the conditional variable with which it is associated is of length 256 or greater: 77 conditional-variable pic x(256). 88 condition-name value all '0'. ... SET condition-name TO TRUE

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling * * programs containing a condition name (level * * 88 data item) with an ALL literal specified * * in the VALUE clause and at least one * * reference to the condition name in the * * procedure division. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unexpected compiler error message: * * * * IGYPS2061-S An error was found in * * the definition of condition-name * * "YYY-ZZZ". The reference to this * * condition-name was discarded. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler had a bug in the scan phase whereby the processing of an ALL literal for a condition name could result in memory corruption in the compiler. The memory corruption could occasionally result in the compiler producing a spurious IGYPS2061-S error.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to correct the scan phase processing of ALL literals associated with a condition name so that spurious IGYPS2061-S errors are not produced.
