PH51964: The LIST option's offset value wraps after reaching FFFFFF (16M)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Prior to COBOL 5+'s use of GOFF object output and program
  objects, the classical object and load module formats imposed a
  limit of 16M on executables, which LIST offsets were large
  enough to accommodate. With COBOL 5+ there's no longer a 16M
  limit, causing the offset to wrap back to zero at every 16M
  boundary.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs with LIST or OFFSET where the       *
  *                 combined size of the generated instructions  *
  *                 and constant area is more than x'FFFFFF'     *
  *                 bytes                                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Offsets larger than six hex digits      *
  *                      wrap around (so x'1000000' is displayed *
  *                       as x'000000')                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
  ****************************************************************
  Offsets of instructions and the constant area are displayed in
  the listing as having only 6 hex digits.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to display offsets of instructions and
  the constant area with 8 hex digits when compiling with
  SOURCE(HEX)
