APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
If a user adds a WHEN SET TO FALSE clause to a condition-name (level 88 data item) description, and then uses SET condname TO FALSE, the condname will still test as TRUE. This APAR will correct the compiler to test for the correct TRUE values when using condition-names that have WHEN SET TO FALSE.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling and * * running programs that have been modified to * * take advantage of the feature 'WHEN SET TO * * FALSE' for condition-name (level 88) data * * item definitions. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a 'WHEN SET TO FALSE' clause is * * added to a condition-name definition * * and the condition-name is then tested, * * the value tested for is the FALSE * * value instead of one of the true * * values. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install provided PTF and recompile. * **************************************************************** When a 'WHEN SET TO FALSE' clause is added, the compiler incorrectly generates code to test for the FALSE value when testing for a true value.
Problem conclusion
The compiler is corrected to test condition-names for correct TRUE values, even when WHEN SET TO FALSE is specified.
