loop in IGZINSH when executing a 'set address of ..' statement in debug tool
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users debugging Enterprise COBOL V3 or V4 * * programs with Debug Tool in remote debug * * mode. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When Debug Tool remote debug is used * * to monitor an array in the linkage * * section and the storage is not * * available after the first array * * item, a significant amount of * * CPU time can be used. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** The COBOL runtime did not stop the processing of array elements when an array element was not in storage. It processed every array element checking to see if the storage was available. When the storage was not available, a program check would occur and the COBOL runtime would handle the program check with the the Language Environment shunt support. The overhead of many program checks and recovery caused a significant amount of CPU time to be used when there were a large number of array elements that were not in storage.

Problem conclusion
The COBOL runtime was changed to stop the processing of array elements when it encounters an element that is not in storage.
