PH48670: FIX COMPILE-TIME TERMINATING ERROR (ABEND) IN IGYCSCAN WHEN COMPILING PROGRAMS WITH JSON PARSE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases when compiling a COBOL program that contains a
  JSON PARSE statement, if identifier-2 of the JSON PARSE
  statement contains subordinate level-88 items a possible
  terminating error condition is triggered (S0C4 abend)
  

Local fix

• Remove 88 levels or apply PTF
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs that contain the JSON PARSE         *
  *                 statement where identifier-2 contains        *
  *                 subordinate level-88 items.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In some cases, compiling the COBOL      *
  *                      program will result in a compile-time   *
  *                      terminating error return code 16 due to *
  *                      an S0C4 ABEND.                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When compiling a COBOL program containing the JSON PARSE
  statement where identifier-2 contains subordinate level-88
  items, the compiler may encounter a system ABEND 0C4 resulting
  in a terminating error return code 16, due to a bug in the
  compiler.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to correctly handle subordinate level-88
  items of identifier-2.
