Problem Reports
Open Problem Reports
This section describes open problems that have been reported against Micro
Focus COBOL.
The number that appears in the first set
of parentheses is the IBM NUMA-Q problem-tracking-system number assigned to
the report. The number that appears in the second set of parentheses is the
Merant problem-tracking-system number assigned to the report. Unless otherwise
noted, each problem will be fixed in a later release of the software. For
information about work-arounds or bug reporting, contact IBM NUMA-Q Customer
Support.
-
(237537) License malfunction
can occur if multiple programs are started in rapid succession.
When multiple licensed Micro Focus COBOL V4.1.30 programs are started
in rapid succession, one or both of the following problems can occur:
-
More than
one license can be consumed by a single user. For per-user licensing a single
user should be able to simultaneously run any number of programs while consuming
only a single license.
-
When the
number of licenses in use approaches (but is still less than) the total number
of licenses that are available, some of the programs can fail at start up
with a "... No licenses available ..." message. If at least
one license is available the start up of all programs should succeed. One
significant side effect of this problem is unexpected build failures if you
use the parallel features of the make(1) command. Since
parallel make is typically used to launch multiple simultaneous
compiles, it creates those conditions necessary for the failure to occur.
Work-around. Set the PARALLEL environment variable to 1. This prevents multiple simultaneous
programs from starting due to the parallel support feature of make(1).
Since this can significantly increase build time the next work-around may
be preferable.
Work-around.
Start and leave a single instance of an interactive program such as editor, ds, or tbox
running. Starting one of these programs will consume one license. After several
seconds, you can then start additional programs in rapid succession using
the same license key.
-
(226285) (NWB44084) Cannot pass multiple arguments
to SYSERR
The statement "DISPLAY ... UPON SYSERR" only displays the last item in the list.
For example:
DISPLAY 'Tom' 'Dick' 'Harry' UPONSYSERR
results in only 'Harry'
being displayed.
Work-around.
First try the following:
cob -ivC addsyn "(console)"=="(syserr)" prog.cbl
If this does not work, then change
your program to use a separate UPON SYSERR statement for
each argument.
Problem Reports Fixed - Reported by IBM NUMA-Q
This section lists the problems reported by IBM NUMA-Q in this release.
The number that appears in the first set of parentheses is the IBM NUMA-Q
problem-tracking-system number assigned to the report. The number that appears
in the second set of parentheses is the MERANT problem-tracking-system number
assigned to the report.
