PH26709: THE COMPILER'S INTERNAL STATE WAS INCORRECT AFTER OPTIMIZING THEIF-ELSE STATEMENT, CAUSING THE COMPILER TO ABORT.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.x compiling
  programs at OPT(1|2) that contain an IF-ELSE statement that
  compares a group data item to SPACES where if the IF branch is
  taken, the only COBOL statement is to assign a value to a
  receiver, and when the ELSE branch is
  taken, the only COBOL statement is to assign a different value
  to the same receiver as in the IF branch.
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler abend with message MSGIGYCB7104-U.
  Internal error while compiling function XXXXX. Failed assertion
  on
  IBMRegisterDependency.hpp:442
  
  RECOMMENDATION TO CUSTOMER: Apply the provided PTF
  
  PROBLEM SUMMARY: The compiler's internal state was incorrect
  after optimizing the IF-ELSE statement, causing the compiler to
  abort in a later optimization when the incorrect state was
  detected.
  
  CONCLUSION: The compiler was fixed to have the correct internal
  state after the earlier optimization, allowing the later
  optimization to
  safely proceed.
  

Local fix

• Compile at OPT(0)
