Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling and * * running programs that use non-OO COBOL/Java * * interoperability features, such as the * * JAVA-CALLABLE and JAVA-SHAREABLE directives * * or make calls to static Java methods using * * the CALL statement. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect or missing error messages in * * cjbuild and the compiler relating to * * incorrect usage of non-OO Java/COBOL * * interoperability features. * * * * Also, under certain circumstances, an * * incorrect Java accessor class is * * produced for accessing COBOL * * working-storage directly in Java for * * Java-shareable COBOL items that are * * groups or tables. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF * **************************************************************** The cjbuild utility was not correctly handling working-storage initialization stub files when the JAVAIOP(OUTPATH) option was specified with a non-default output directory. cjbuild was also failing to leave a copy of the side deck for the DLL it produces in the current directory in the case where the DLL is output to a dataset. Some error messages in both cjbuild and the compiler involving incorrect usages of interoperability directives were missing and there were some cases where Java-shareable items that were groups or tables were being mishandled.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to address various usability and stability issues relating to the non-OO Java/COBOL interoperability feature.
