Error description
During execution of an XML PARSE ... RETURNING NATIONAL statement under option XMLPARSE(XMLSS), compiler generated code inadvertantly frees a parse input buffer before parsing is complete, resulting in a later 0C4 abend. Depending on the size of the parse input relative to the heap segment size, LE option HEAP(,,,KEEP) may obscure the fact that freed memory is still being used.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling * * and running programs with the * * XMLPARSE(XMLSS) compiler option, where the * * program contains an XML PARSE statement * * with the RETURNING NATIONAL phrase where * * the input data item is alphanumeric and the * * XML document contains elements that will * * span multiple XML-NTEXT special registers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A COBOL program may experience a * * system ABEND at runtime, due to * * execution of an XML PARSE statement * * which referenced a previously released * * storage area. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** During processing of the XML PARSE statement, the compiler generated code to obtain storage at runtime to be used as an input buffer to the XML parser. The storage was inadvertently released before subsequent references to the storage resulting in a runtime ABEND.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to generate code for the XML PARSE statement that will only release the storage when it is no longer required.
