Error description
When compiling more than one compile unit in the same compiler invocation (known as a batch compile), the compiler fails to reset the working-storage and compiler static sizes to zero between compile units; the sizes become cumulative over the batch. This is evident from the LIST and MAP outputs. The PPA4 "Entry Point Constants" entry for working-storage length eg. "Length DATA31" is cumulative, as is the "WSA allocation size" field in the compile unit prolog. These incorrect sizes also result in incorrect allocation of these areas at run-time.
Local fix
Compile one compile unit at a time
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.x compiling * * programs in batch mode. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The field giving the Length of DATA31 * * in PPA4 is cumulative between * * programs. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The field giving the Length of DATA31 in PPA4 was not being reset between batch compiles.
Problem conclusion
Compiler was updated to reset the value for each compile.
