Error description
CBL V5.2 MOVE statement Change of behavior with invalid data at OPT(2), ZONEDATA(NOPFD),NUMPROC(NOPFD) at PTF UI59047
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiling and * * running programs compiled with the * * ZONEDATA(NOPFD) or ZONEDATA(MIG) compiler * * options and where the programs contain MOVE * * statements that satisfy the following * * conditions: * * 1. the sender in the statement is a zoned * * decimal data item * * 2. the receiver is an unsigned zoned data * * item or an alphanumeric data item * * 3. if the sender is signed, then it is * * signed trailing overpunch. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: INCORRECT RESULTS: Different results * * for invalid data for similar programs * * compiled with the Enterprise COBOL V42 * * and earlier compilers. * * * * In particular, invalid zone/sign * * nibbles may not be propagated from the * * sender to the receiver in MOVE * * operations. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The code generated for zoned decimal moves, while functionally correct, would also frequently have the effect of fixing bad zones and bad sign nibbles before storing them in the receiver.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was updated so that for the zoned decimal moves in question, invalid zoned and sign nibbles (signed trailing overpunch only) are propagated to the receiver during MOVE operations.
