Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
NEW FUNCTION. The COBOL Runtime has been enhanced, which includes: - Added COBOL runtime warning and severe messages replacing LE error messages for programs compiled with ARIHT(EXTEND) and using COMP-2 data types to perform exponentiation calculations. The enhancement in this Runtime APAR will take effect only if the COBOL program being run was compiled with a PTF that includes compiler APAR PH58372 or its associated SYSROUT'ed APARs and link-edited on a system that has Runtime PTF with this APAR PH58373 installed. Refer to APAR PH58372 for details.
