Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.1 who want to * * use the RULES(NOEVENPACK) compiler option to * * find data items defined as PACKED-DECIMAL * * but with an even number of digits. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Data items that users have no control * * over are flagged by the option, such * * as Db2 data items that start with DSN * * or SQL and CICS data items that start * * with DFH or EYU. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** This APAR implements new function for the RULES(NOEVENPACK) compiler option, and prevents flagging data items defined by CICS and Db2.
Problem conclusion
RULES(NOEVENPACK) should only flag data items owned by the COBOL programmer, not data items defined by other IBM products, and this APAR provides a big improvement in this area for RULES(NOEVENPACK).
