Error description

  • In the following example, a part of the API parameters is
redefined then SPACE is assigned to the redefined parameter
before the API call. In this case, the values for all other API
parameters (variables) are also set to SPACE, failing to resolve
 the call.

01 VAR1.
         03 VAR1-1 PIC X(08).
         03 VAR1-2 PIC X(08).
         03 VAR1-3 PIC X(04).
         03 VAR1-4 PIC X(128).
         03 FILLER REDEFINES VAR1-4.
     05 VAR1-5-1 PIC 9(03).
           05 VAR1-5-2 PIC X(05).
           05 FILLER PIC X(120).
...
        MOVE  SPACE       TO VAR1-4.
        MOVE  1           TO VAR1-5-1.
        MOVE  'AAAAA'     TO VAR1-5-2.
      *
        CALL 'IMSDBSUB' USING VAR1, VAR3, VAR4.

Local fix

  • N/A

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

  • Fixed with code changes related to how the 'Dynamic Resolution
Algorithm' evaluates all possible values of a variable.

Temporary fix
