APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
During the validation of REPLACE statement syntax in the library phase, the compiler could sometimes get confused if the REPLACING statement was missing a period and the next period in the program was after or inside of an embedded SQL statement. Incorrect syntax of the REPLACING statement can trigger this.
Local fix
Correct the syntax of the REPLACING statement. For example, change INITIALIZE SOME-DATA-ITEM REPLACE NUMERIC DATA BY 00000000. to INITIALIZE SOME-DATA-ITEM REPLACING NUMERIC DATA BY 00000000.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of Enterprise COBOL V5.2 compiling * * programs that contain an invalid REPLACE * * statement as well as embedded SQL * * statements. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Possible infinite compiler loop in * * module IGYCLIBR. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** During the validation of REPLACE statement syntax in the library phase, the compiler could sometimes get confused if the REPLACE statement was missing a period and the next period in the program was after or inside of an embedded SQL statement.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated to perform correct validation of REPLACE statements during the library phase, regardless of the presence of any subsequent embedded SQL statements in the program.
