  ****************************************************************
  Customers find that they need to create their own user COBOL
  libraries if they want to process NATIONAL data items using
  Enterprise COBOL. This APAR provides added support in intrinsic
  functions REVERSE, ULENGTH, UPOS, USUBSTR and UWIDTH for
  processing NATIONAL data items.
  

Problem conclusion

• The runtime was changed to add support for processing NATIONAL
