Error description
On Enterprise COBOL V6.3 Compiler PTF UI82565 (Sep, 2022), the characters ">>" started appearing in column 10 on the compile listing for all lines with END-EXEC statement (just for EXEC CICS, and not for EXEC SQL). ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS: Characters ">>".
Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION: None RECOVERY ACTION: Apply PTF
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL compiling programs * * that contain CICS statements and using the * * CICS compiler option. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The compiler listing has extraneous * * characters >> at the beginning of each * * line with END-EXEC * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF and recompile * **************************************************************** In some cases the compiler has to add a 'continue' in the generated COBOL for CICS statements and this caused problems in some cases due to a flag setting.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to reset the flag after it added the 'continue' statement, so no more >> on lines with END-EXEC
