We recently rolled out RSU0512 maintenance which included a fix to allow
the LE support for Enterprise Cobol for z/OS V3R4 NF PTF to get applied
(which itself was PEd).

It turns out there is a new PE related to this support (it went PE on
01/19/2006 - 2 days before our rollout).

A short description of PK15432 is:

  "a change in behavior of COBOL programs that include
  SEARCH ALL ... WHEN statements if the search argument
  is longer than the key"


No fix is available yet, so the PTFs (including support for
Enterprise Cobol for z/OS V3R4) must be backed out or code
changes are required.    See the APAR text for details.

We were alerted from our applications area when they found
"bad data".  We are trying to assess the impact now and this
could be a long clean up effort.

Hopefully this post will save someone else.
