PK61075: USING COMPILER OPTION NOLAXLINK CAUSES MESSAGE IBM1442I E

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CICS translator generates the following two declare
  statements for PL/I programs near the start of each translated
  EXCI program:
  
  DCL       DFHXCI ENTRY VARIABLE INIT(DFHXCIE) AUTO;
  DCL       DFHXCIE ENTRY OPTIONS(INTER ASSEMBLER);
  
  When the NOLAXLINK compiler option is used, the compiler
  complain and issues message IBM1442I E.  The default is
  RULES(LAXLINK) which means that mismatching calling conventions
  will not be flagged at compile time, rather your program may do
  funny things at runtime.
  

Local fix

• LAXLINK

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using the option RULES(NOLAXLINK) in the PL/I compiler
  options and the Enterprise PL/I compiler with the CICS
  translator, there is a mismatch between the OPTIONS
  attributes for the declarations of DFHXCI and DFHXCIE
  created by the CICS translator. This results in message
  IBM1442I E.
  The mismatch was because statement DFHXCIE is declared with
  OPTIONS INTER ASSEMBLER, but the declaration for DFHXCI does
  not have any OPTIONS attribute.
  Additional keywords: msgIBM1442IE msgIBM1442I LAXLINK
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHEXMTD has been altered so that the ENTRY declaration
  statements DFHXCI and DFHXCIE have the same OPTIONS
  attributes.
