Error description

  • Given there is both a special register and a function called
    WHEN-COMPILED that have different values, allowing WHEN-COMPILED
    to be declared an intrinsic function in the repository paragraph
    would change the behavior of programs using WHEN-COMPILED
    without a FUNCTION introducer. The compiler diagnoses this usage
    with
    
    IGYDS0287-E "WHEN-COMPILED" was specified in the "FUNCTION"
            phrase of the "REPOSITORY" paragraph, but the keyword
            "FUNCTION" is always required for function
            "WHEN-COMPILED". "WHEN-COMPILED" was discarded from the
            "FUNCTION" phrase.
    
    but does so twice.
    

Local fix

  • Correct the program by removing the definition of WHEN-COMPILED
    from the repository
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 whose COBOL    *
    *                 programs contain the WHEN-COMPILED intrinsic *
    *                 function in the REPOSITORY paragraph of the  *
    *                 CONFIGURATION section.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile error message IGYDS0287-E would *
    *                      be generated twice when the             *
    *                      WHEN-COMPILED intrinsic function is     *
    *                      specified in the REPOSITORY paragraph.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    Compile error message IGYDS0287-E would be generated twice when
    the WHEN-COMPILED intrinsic function is specified in the
    REPOSITORY paragraph.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler has been fixed to generate the message only once.
