Error description
When ZONEDATA=MIG set as a default in the IGYCDOPT compiler options default module, then if a compile is done using ZONEDATA(NOPFD), the compiler incorrectly maps ZONEDATA(NOPFD) to INVDATA(FORCENUMCMP,CLEANSIGN) instead of INVDATA(NOFORCENUMCMP,CLEANSIGN). The problem only occurs when both of these are true: 1) The default set in IGYCDOPT module is ZONEDATA=MIG. 2) A compile is done with ZONEDATA(NOPFD) to override the default.
Local fix
Replace ZONEDATA(NOPFD) in the compile JCL with the INVDATA compiler option (with no suboptions).
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling and * * running programs where the ZONEDATA=MIG * * compiler option is specified in the * * installation defaults for the compiler but * * is overridden with either the * * ZONEDATA(NOPFD) * * or ZONEDATA(PFD) option during compiler * * invocation. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unexpected runtime behavior for * * comparisons involving zoned and/or * * packed data items containing invalid * * data. The comparison is done as if the * * deprecated ZONEDATA(MIG) option, or its * * equivalent INVDATA(FORCENUMCMP,...), * * were in effect. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When mapping the deprecated ZONEDATA(PFD) and ZONEDATA(NOPFD) options to INVDATA during options processing, some bits that were set during installation defaults processing for ZONEDATA were not properly cleared.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated so that when the mapping from ZONEDATA(PFD) and ZONEDATA(NOPFD) to the new INVDATA option is done, bits from the ZONEDATA installation defaults are properly cleared, if set.
