Cobol V5.3-40, OpenVMS V6.2, vax, Oracle ProCobol V7.1.5 and v7.0.16 Has anyone seen any runtime problems with ProCobol? I have a customer who is getting an accvio on a cobol open statement, but only when she uses Oracle ProCobol V7.1.5. She claims that if she pre-processes the same code with V7.0.16, it runs ok. The nature of the failure is that an accvio occurs on the first Open statement it encounters. She has tried moving the open statement around, and the error tracks the open statement. If she executes it as the first executable statement, that's where it blows. I have suggested she contact Oracle, as their version of ProCobol is the only thing different. I have also suggested she compare the intermediate source code that ProCobol generates for each version. Any other ideas? This realy seems to me to be a ProCobol issue, but I thought I had better check in here just to see if I'm missing something. Thanks, Jerry U.S. CSC

Does the program use RMS special registers? There is a bug in VAX
COBOL V5.3-40 which can cause a runtime ACCVIO on an OPEN if the
program includes references to RMS special registers.
The problem is fixed with VAX COBOL V5.4 which is now shipping from the
SSB. Also, the CSCs have a VAX COBOL V5.3 TIMA kit (which includes the
V5.3-42 compiler) which corrects the problem.

| 3231.2 | Is the COBOL program attempting to open many files? | PACKED::MASLANKA | Thu Apr 17 1997 18:15 | 11 | |
Re .0 How many files is she trying to open in this VAX COBOL program? or does she have a "huge" Data Division? A problem was reported and resolved when attempting to have more than 67 files open concurrently. The same effect could occur with a "huge" DD. This problem was corrected in VAX COBOL V5.3-42. The Backup savesets for it can be found in CLT::CLT$LIBRARY:[C79NET.V53]. Also, the fix for the problem in in VAX COBOL Version 5.4, which is now shipped since 31-Mar. | |||||

I don't really know the nature of the Open, other than it's occurring on the very first file open. I'll have to check with the customer. I'll suggest the either order the eco or upgrade. If it's a cobol problem, she should be using the very latest version before we start chasing the problem. Thanks, Jerry | |||||
