Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 or later        *
  *                 releases running programs in AMODE 31 that   *
  *                 call Java                                    *
  *                 methods in AMODE 64.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the LIBPATH environment varriable    *
  *                      is not set up properly, the             *
  *                      COBOL program may abend with 0C6.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Correct the                                  *
  *                 environment setup and install the provided   *
  *                 PTF to get                                   *
  *                 improved diagnostic.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  When a COBOL program in AMODE 31 is calling Java methods
  in AMODE 64, if the libjvm31.so DLL cannot be found,
  the COBOL special register JNIEnvPtr would contain null. This
  could lead to subsequent abends when this special register is
  used.

Problem conclusion

• Diagnostic message IGZ0099C is enhanced to
  detect the condition when JNIEnvPtr cannot be initialized
  properly.
