Error description
Passing a substring of an arrayed item to a function produces a compiler error
Local fix
Problem summary
The problem occurs when trying to pass a substring of a variable, that happens to also be an arrayed item, to a system function. The array index is erroneously placed against the temporary variable that is created to hold the value, instead of the original variable. This causes a compiler error as COBOL is expecting the array index against the arrayed variable.
Problem conclusion
The software has been updated to check for this situation, which will then place the array index variable against the original variable being passed, instead of the temporary variable.
Temporary fix
