Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.3 compiling and  *
  *                 running programs containing COBOL code with  *
  *                 the XML GENERATE statement when the sending  *
  *                 operand contains subordinate FILLER items    *
  *                 with USAGE POINTER or OBJECT REFERENCE.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In the case described above, the XML    *
  *                      GENERATE statement may result in        *
  *                      XML-CODE 417 with possible corrupted    *
  *                      XML output.                             *

Problem conclusion

• The compiler has been fixed to handle those items - the
  generated XML is correct with XML-CODE 0.
