Closed as program error.
Error description
While it is incorrect per the documentation to omit the buffer size from the PARMCHECK parameter of the IGYCOPT macro during compiler option customization, if it is omitted it quietly defaults to zero rather than 100: *,IGY1076 (PARMCHECK) PARMCHECK SUBOPTIONS ABD AND 0 WILL BE SET AS DEFAULTS which may cause problems downstream.
Local fix
Code the parameter as documented.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 who try to * * set a default compiler option setting for * * PARMCHECK in IGYCDOPT. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler ABORT: If a user accidentally * * leaves out the buffer size sub-option * * when specifying PARMCHECK in IGYCDOPT, * * the compiler can ABORT with message: * * IGYPG5125-U THE COMPILATION WAS * * TERMINATED DUE TO A COMPILER ERROR IN * * PHASE ID: "IGYCPGEN". IGYPG5201-U * * INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR CODE "PMAA-00" * * OCCURRED. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The compiler was not designed to set a default for the PARMCHECK buffer if it was not included in IGYCDOPT, but there also was no error message when IGYCDOPT was compiled. The result was a PARMCEHCK buffer size of zero, which caused a compiler ABORT later on.
Problem conclusion
Macro IGYCOPI was changed to set the default to 100 for PARMCHECK, to tolerate users accidentally leaving it out of their specification in IGYCDOPT.
