PH47472: WHEN THE ARGUMENT TO THE SIGN INTRINSIC FUNCTION IS A NUMERIC LITERAL, THE COMPILER ABENDS WITH ERROR IGYPG5201-U

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the argument to the SIGN intrinsic function is a numeric
  literal, the compiler abends with error:
  
  CURRENT PHASE: IGYCPGEN
  CURRENT LINE NUMBER: 000017
  REGISTERS 0 - 15:
  2B399456 00000000 0008A948 00000000         0001EDD0 00000000
  00000000 0008A8F5

  LineID  Message code  Message text
  000017  IGYPG5125-U   The compilation was terminated due to a
  compiler error in phase id:  "IGYCPGEN".
  
  000017  IGYPG5201-U   Internal compiler error code "PTEXT-07"
  occurred.
  

Local fix

• Moving the numeric literal argument into an appropriate data
  item and using the data item as the argument to the SIGN
  intrinsic function will prevent the error and result in a clean
  compile.

  ****************************************************************
  An optimization in the compiler for handling literal
  arguments to the SIGN intrinsic function could result
  in a compiler abort.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to ensure that literal arguments for
  the SIGN intrinsic function are handled correctly.
