APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Cobol Copybooks in quotes are not recognized in ADDI CobolPP
  
  AD 5.1.0.9
  ===========
  if program contains cobol copybooks in quotes
  for eg
  copy 'abc'.
  
  the program is built in AD Build Client, no errors are shown.
   However, when batch server does post processing - cobolpp,
  gives out error message as copybook is not found.
  
  The customer is impacted as almost all programs are having the
  syntax of copybooks in quotes inside the copy statement and due
  to this expand copybook functionality is impacted and many
  programs are being called inside the copybooks.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• PROBLEM SUMMARY
                Cobol Preprocessing Task (copybooks expand) part
  of the Batch Server, was not recognizing the Copybooks having
  the names between single quotes:
  COPY 'ABCDE' , therefore the Cobol programs were
  not correctly expanded as such copybooks were reported as
  missing.
  

Problem conclusion

• PROBLEM CONCLUSION
                Batch Server Task - Cobol Preprocessing, has been
  improved, so that it will recognize also the Copy Books names
  that are between single quotes:
                COPY 'ABCDE', and will not report them as missing,
  therefore the expansion of the cobol programs using these
  copybooks is now correct.
