PH59594: S0C4 DURING EXECUTION WHEN PROGRAM IS COMPILED WITH NUMCHECK

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a program is compiled with NUMCHECK, and has data items
  defined in the Local Storage Section, an incorrect address may
  be calculated, leading to a possible s0c4 exception.
  

Local fix

• Compile with NONUMCHECK
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
  *                 programs with NUMCHECK and have senders      *
  *                 defined in LOCAL-STORAGE.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Program abends at runtime with S0C4 or  *

  *                      the NUMCHECK compiler option.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF                       *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler is incorrectly calculating the memory address of
  LOCAL-STORAGE data items when generating instructions for
  runtime NUMCHECK tests.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was fixed to calculate the memory address of
  LOCAL-STORAGE data items when generating instructions for
  runtime NUMCHECK tests.
