APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The result of DataTypePicComp for 2byte data is below.
  (Customer_0751SB_002)
  In the line 466 of output file, he present value of V8.5 is
  '53248'
  The correct value is '-12032'.
  
  The result of DataTypePicComp for 3byte data is below.
  (Customer_0751SB_003)
  In the line 705 of output file, he present value of V8.5 is
  '12517376'
  The correct value is '-4194303'.
  
  The result of DataTypePicCompUnsigned for 4byte is below.
  (Customer_0751SB_014)
  In the line 961 of output file, the present value of V8.5 is
  '-1073741824'.
  The correct value is '3221225472'.
  The range of treat DataTypePicCompUnsigned is from 0 to
