Error description
Cobol not honoring printer control char using ADV
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 and later * * releases running programs that use DISPLAY * * statements with the WITH NO ADVANCING * * phrase, and its output are sent to a * * sequential dataset or to a member of a PDS. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The "+" ASA printer control character * * of the DISPLAY statement is missing * * when there are other DISPLAY statements * * in the program using the WITH NO * * ADVANCING phrase. The erroneous * * DISPLAY may or may not have the WITH * * ADVANCING phrase specified. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The internal state of the COBOL runtime DISPLAY routine becomes incorrect after processing a WITH NO ADVANCING phrase. This causes the current and subsequent DISPLAY statements in the program get incorrect ASA printer control characters. COB0501T/K COB0502T/K COB0601T/K COB0602T/K COB0603T/K
Problem conclusion
The logic of the COBOL runtime has been fixed to output the ASA printer control character correctly.
