Enterprise Cobol V6 - Invalid binary code for set address by reference modification on a unbounded dataitem and SSRANGE

Hi

A SET ADDRESS OF / TO ADDRESS OF statement from a unbounded dataitem, and in the presence of the SSRANCE option, generates an invalid binary code: message IGZ0072S / IGZ0308W is triggered unconditionally.

The same code compiled in NOSSRANGE runs without problem.

The same code compiled as SSRANGE but applied to a fixed-length zone runs without problem.

Conversely, there is no zone overflow control despite the SSRANGE option when the source zone is one of fixed length or of ODO length but bounded.


Note: I cannot open a PMR because I do not have a customer code.
