Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5+ releases       *
  *                 compiling with ARITH(COMPAT) and running     *
  *                 programs that use FUNCTION NUMVAL with a     *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The runtime logic for diagnosing NUMVAL of a national data item
  with 19-31 characters when using ARITH(COMPAT) was being
  treated as if the program was compiled with ARITH(EXTEND).
  

Problem conclusion

• When NUMVAL is used with a national data item with 19-31
  characters using ARITH(COMPAT), severe Runtime message IGZ0151S
  will be generated.  For national data items that contain more
  than 31 characters, IGZ0151S will be generated instead of
  IGZ0196S when compiled with ARITH(COMPAT).
