PH42220: Entry point name is used as input to IGZIUXB instead of compile unit name for programs with multiple entry points for AMODE64

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a program compiled with TEST(SEPARATE(NODSNAME)) is called
  using a secondary entry point, the debug information will be
  inaccessible. Contrary to documentation, the exit IGZUIXB, used
  to map the compile unit name to a debug file, is passed the
  secondary entry name rather than the compile unit name.
  

Local fix

• Use TEST(NOSEPARATE).

  *                 releases running AMODE 64 programs           *
  *                 compiled with                                *
  *                 TEST(SEPARATE(NODSNAME)) that have           *

  ****************************************************************
  The COBOL Runtime had an error locating and using the side
  debug file for programs with multiple entry points
  compiled with TEST(SEPARATE(NODSNAME)) and entered through
  an alternate entry point when a CEEDUMP was produced.
  The alternate entry point name was being used for
  locating the side debug file (via IGZQUXB) rather than the
  compile unit name.
  
  COB0603T/K
  

Problem conclusion

• The COBOL Runtime has been fixed to use the compile unit name
  to access the side debug file (via IGZQUXB) regardless
  of what entry point was used to enter a COBOL program.
  
  With this APAR, a new sample IGZQIUXB for AMODE 64 COBOL
  programs is available in the SCEESAMP dataset.
