Hi There

I was wondering if someone could answer the following query regarding one of the COBOL compiler options (NUMPROC) and its implications vis-a-vis S0C7/ASRA abends in CICS.

Consider the following piece of code:
Code:

01 WS-EXCP-MSG PIC  X(33) VALUE SPACES.

01 WS-TABLE-1  OCCURS 8 TIMES INDEXED BY X-IDX-1.
    03 WS-EXCP-SW PIC  9(01).

01 WS-TABLE-2 OCCURS 8 TIMES INDEXED BY X-IDX-2.
    03 WS-TABLE-ENTRY PIC  X(33).

SET X-IDX-2 TO WS-EXCP-SW (X-IDX-1).
MOVE WS-TABLE-ENTRY(X-IDX-2) TO WS-EXCP-MSG.

What is the effect of NUMPROC(PFD) and NUMPROC(NOPFD) on the above code if all occurrences of WS-EXCP-SW were to contain X'00' initially? I understand that PFD results in increased efficiency, but does that mean data exceptions are not handled at run time?

Many Thanks
Ram

rrv,

When the NUMPROC(NOPFD) compiler option is in effect, the compiler accepts any valid sign configuration.

Check this link for a detailed explanation of NUMPROC compiler option

Hope this helps...
