PH41716: CICS PRE-COMPILER DOES NOT ADD DFHEIBLK AND DFHCOMMAREA TO LINKAGE SECTION 22/01/06 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CICS translator program does not insert DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA
  into the linkage-section of a COBOL program when a COBOL
  floating comment is in the identification division statement
  line when the program is a nested COBOL program.
  

Local fix

• Remove floating comments from the identification division line.

  ****************************************************************
  A CICS COBOL program has nested programs that have
  COBOL floating comments on their identification division
  statements - for example:
  
       IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.    *> Floating Comment
  
  The program is processed by the CICS stand-alone translator
  DFHECP1$.
  The translator should insert DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA
  declarations into the linkage section of the nested program.
  The presence of the floating comment on the identification
  statement prevents the translator from inserting those
  declarations.
  

Problem conclusion

• UI72894 UI72895 UI72896
  The CICS stand-alone translator has been changed to
  generate DFHEIBLK and DFHCOMMAREA declarations
  when a COBOL program has floating comments in nested
  program identification division statements.
