Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: User of Enterprise COBOL V5+ with program * * containing "INSPECT DATA-ITEM REPLACING * * ..." STATEMENTS, where DATA-ITEM is an * * alphanumeric data item. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The INSPECT processing may ABEND 0C4 * * if the data item being inspected * * happen to be located in memory right * * before a page boundary and the next * * address is inaccessible. This is * * unlikely to happen for data item * * defined in WORKING-STORAGE or LOCAL * * STORAGE. The reported case occurs in * * a record read from QSAM I/O. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** INSPECT processing attempts to inspect an extra character at the end of the data item. This additional access would not affect INSPECT result but would cause an ABEND 0C4. FIXCAT keyword: COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K
Problem conclusion
INSPECT processing has been corrected to not access memory beyond the end of the data item being inspected.
