Error description

  • In a CEEDUMP, the "User Level" data is incorrectly truncated to
    4 characters.
    
    For example:
    COBOL Version = 05 Release = 02 Modification = 00 User Level =
    '    '
    COBOL Version = 06 Release = 01 Modification = 00 User Level =
    'P171'
    COBOL Version = 06 Release = 02 Modification = 00 User Level =
    'P171'

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL 6.1 and later releases      *
    *                 compiling and running programs that ABEND    *
    *                 and produce CEEDUMP.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The generated CEEDUMP truncates the     *
    *                      "User Level" field to 4 characters;     *
    *                      the correct length should be 8.         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    COBOL Runtime control block for the "User Level" field has a
    size of 4 characters as opposed to be 8. When CEEDUMP
    processing prints the "User Level" from this field, the data is
    truncated to 4 characters long.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The COBOL Runtime control block "User Level" field has been
    corrected.
