  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • A loop occurs in Enterprise PL/I library routine IBMQLEX in
    load module IBMPDAPI while processing a command issued from the
    Debug tool command line to assign a decimal value to a PL/I
    variable. A valid assignment, such as   x = .01, where x is
    declared as a decimal number, can cause the loop.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise PL/I and the Debug Tool. *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If an assignment of a decimal value     *
    *                      to a PL/I variable is made using the    *
    *                      Debug Tool, a loop may occur if the     *
    *                      assigned value has a decimal point as   *
    *                      the first character.                    *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Values that have a decimal point as the first character are
    not handled correctly and can cause a loop during processing
    when the value is used in an assignment from the Debug Tool.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changes are made to process the assignment correctly when
    a decimal point is the first character in a value assigned to a
    PL/I variable using the Debug Tool.
