Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * programs with the RULES(NOLAXPERF) compiler * * option where the programs contain ADD DIVIDE * * MULTIPLY and SUBTRACT statements with data * * itemns that are defined as numeric USAGE * * DISPLAY and are also both senders and * * receivers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect compiler output, missing * * diagnostic message. There is no * * message for using numeric DISPLAY data * * items in arithmetic statements for * * some cases of ADD, DIVIDE, MULTIPLY * * and SUBTRACT. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The compiler was not accounting for the cases where data items are both senders and receivers in some statements, and was not flagging the numeric DISPLAY data items because they were receivers.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was corrected to to put out a NOLAXPERF message for numeric DISPLAY data items in ADD, DIVIDE, MULTIPLY and SUBTRACT when they are both senders and receivers like B in ADD A to B, SUBTRACT A from B, MULTIPLY A BY B, and DIVIDE A INTO B.
