                 EDIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR COBOL-10-V12B                            
  
  
                             EDIT 47     FOR COBDDT
  
  
  
  
                        **********
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
  
	When  displaying  a  symbol,   and  the  initial  segment   is
ambiguous, the  proper error  message is  displayed, but  an  "Illegal
instruction" trap occurs.
  
  
                        **********
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
  
	After displaying  the error  message, routine  LOKFE1  returns
immediately but junk is on the stack.
  
  
                        **********
  
  
[CURE]
  
  
	Fix up the stack, before attempting to return.

                             EDIT 1560   FOR COBOL
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
If trying to open two files in the same OPEN statement.  The
first one is OPEN EXTEND and the second one is OPEN I-O, the
compilation fails with the following error message:
  
        OPEN EXTEND may only be specified for sequential files.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The extend bit was not cleared at the appropriate time.
  
[CURE]
  
Clear the extend bit appropriately.

[SYMPTOM]
  
COBOL believes that when an OPEN fails in SMU that the  file
really was opened when it wasn't.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
A flag in LSU never was reset after the OPEN fails.
  
[CURE]
  
Reset the flag.

                             EDIT 1136   FOR LIBOL
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
Invalid error message when a user makes improper use  of  an
unavailable clause.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
When the user issues an unavailable clause, it still behaves
as if the record or records were actually retained.  When in
reality they weren't.
  
[CURE]
  
When the user issues  an  unavailable  clause  treat  it  as
though a RETAIN was never issued.

                             EDIT 1137   FOR LIBOL
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
Unless the overlay file is in the  connected  directory,  it
cannot be found.
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
When the JFNS% is done to get the directory information, the
symbol used was DIR and not as it should be JS%DIR.
  
[CURE]
  
Change the DIR to JS%DIR
