Error description
At OPT(2) the left-most leading zero is not suppressed in some cases, but leading zero is suppressed at OPT(0).
Local fix
Compile using OPT(0)
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6.2 compiling * * programs at ARCH(10|11|12) and OPT(1|2) * * that * * move data from a USAGE DISPLAY sender to a * * NUMERIC-EDITED receiver whose picture * * clause begins with exactly one Z, with the * * sender containing a value that has a * * non-zero leftmost digit. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The receiver begins with a zero instead * * of a space. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When the sender had fewer digits than the receiver and the receiver's picture clause began with exactly one Z, the generated code was incorrectly setting the leftmost digit of the receiver to 0 instead of space.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was fixed to set the leftmost digits of the receiver to a space.
