APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: N/A . Stack Trace: N/A .
Local fix
A workaround is to disable to use -Xnodfpbd. There might be an impact to BigDecimal performance with this option.
Problem summary
The Java virtual machine (JVM) incorrectly calls a private stub routine for java/math/BigDecimal.DFPBCDDigits, used within certain DFP related paths of BigDecimal.toString, instead of generating the corresponding convert instruction to packed decimal. This problem is exposed only on 31-bit zLinux JVMs, or 31-bit zOS JVMs on z10 architecture.
Problem conclusion
This defect will be fixed in: 6.0.1 SR2 7.0.0 SR1 . The JVM has been updated to generate the proper convert instruction for java/math/BigDecimal.DFPBCDDigits on the affected platforms.
Temporary fix
