It was in the early 80s. And, it might have been the Capex Optimizer we used then.

Surprising that the configuration of a COBOL compiler would care about a TMS, but OK. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email.

Very early. Fairly new at the job COBOL programming. Compiler was updated and started dying. I went a couple weeks round and round with the guy who did the install, trying to get him to open the issue with IBM. We were kind of formal in those days and he didn't believe the young newcomer. I finally got him to let me see the installation options he'd used. One stood right out. There was a "tape management system' yes or no. He had no.

Re: [External] Re: Fwd: Case TS002648607 (PMR 76523,082,000) - Compiler abend
I saw one on a BUNCH machine compiler, except that it didn't fail, it just gave the wrong result. It was a fairly straightforward COMPUTE statement, something along the lines of COMPUTE D=C-(A*B). The result came back as D=C+(A*B). Didn't take the company long to produce a fix for that one!

I saw one as lab assistant. The bright young thing came tromping in 'the eight's broken, I need it fixed'. Turns out she was right! The adder's carry bit wasn't propagating. 3+3=6, 3+4=7, 4+4=7?
