Error description

  • Failed assertion on ../../ibm/env/ListingAgent.cpp:4632 when
    using NOMDECK & incorrect SYSMDECK is DUMMY in JCL
    

Local fix

  • Correct SYSMDECK DD in the JCL when using the NOMDECK compile
    option:
    //SYSMDECK DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(CYL,(10,10))
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling      *
    *                 programs with LIST and NOMDECK and an        *
    *                 incorrectly-defined SYSMDECK in their JCL,   *
    *                 such as COBOL.SYSMDECK DD DUMMY              *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
    ****************************************************************
    The compiler has a message that gets displayed when the SYSMDECK
    can't be opened, but the compiler's internal state was
    incorrect
    and it wasn't getting displayed.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler's internal state was corrected so the correct
    message gets displayed when the SYSMDECK can't be opened
    

Temporary fix
