Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.2 compiling      *
  *                 programs that contain conditional            *
  *                 compilation directives in compiled-out code  *
  *                 that contain references to undefined         *
  *                 compilation variables.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compile-time message such as:           *
  *                                                              *
  *                      IGYLI0245-E   "AA" was not defined as a *
  *                       compilation variable.                  *
  *                      A value of 1 was assumed for the        *
  *                      variable.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF                   *
  ****************************************************************
  The compiler was sometimes generating error messages for
  references to undefined compilation variables made in
  compiled-out conditional compilation directives.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler was updated to ensure that references to undefined
  compilation variables in compiled-out conditional compilation
  directives does not result in a compiler error message
  unnecessarily.
  

Temporary fix
