Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.2 compiling and * * running programs compiled with the ZONECHECK * * option. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Usability. The runtime message produced * * when bad zoned decimal values are * * encountered currently does not contain * * sufficient information to help users * * identify the problem. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided service. * **************************************************************** The runtime message for bad zoned decimal data did not actually report the bad value that was encountered nor the name of the COBOL program that referenced the bad value.
