APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The problem is exposed when an expression is used to specified an unnamed bitfield width rather than integer literal. In addition to that, the type of expression needs to be different from the bitfield type. The following message might be incorrectly issued even though the type of bitfield is not long: 1540-1639 (I) The behavior of long type bit fields has changed from previous releases of this compiler. In 64-bit mode, long type bit fields now default to long, not int.
Local fix
Replace expression with integer literal
Problem summary

Problem conclusion
The problem had been fixed.
