APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Due to a build error, call stubs for support modules for some DYNAMIC LENGTH data item features were included in the run-time library instead of the actual modules. This leads to a very tight loop if these modules are called. The modules involved are IGZXDEA, IGZXDED and IGZXDER. You can use the compiler LIST output to see if your DYNAMIC LENGTH item containing program calls these modules.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.3 and later * * releases running programs which use * * dynamic-length elementary items. * * (Dynamic-length elementary items are those * * defined with the DYNAMIC LENGTH clause.) * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The COBOL program ABENDs or enters into * * a tight loop in CSECTs IGZXDEA,IGZXDED * * or IGZXDER. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** The COBOL Runtime modules for handling dynamic-length elementary items,IGZXDEA, IGZXDED, and IGZXDER, were built incorrectly, causing errors for COBOL programs using dynamic-length elementary data items.
Problem conclusion
The COBOL Runtime modules have been rebuilt to correct the errors.
