Greetings,

Not likely it was a compiler bug that got fixed.  COBOL II/iX has been
very stable for years.

When you ran after recompiling, was all the data identical to what it
was when it failed?  Also, think about the possibility of uninitialized
data items containing different initial values the second time you ran
the program.  Maybe it would have worked right the second time you ran
it, even if you hadn't recompiled.

I wonder which is more of a concern:
-  An unexplained Data PAGE Fault or 
-  wondering if the source code that you had been running matches the
object.

If simply re-compiling the code did indeed solve the issue, either the
compiler had changed to fix a bug that you only ran into recently, or
the compiler/link options had changed, or the source code and object
didn't match.

I recompiled my program and the error went away.

Thank you,
