Error description
(COB V5.1) Modify IGZXAPI to detect when garbage is passed to it or a storage overlay exists. An ESPIE will be used, but only when control is inside IGZXAPI. On entry, IGZXAPI invokes ESPIE and remembers the previous token. When IGZXAPI returns, it invokes ESPIE RESET and restores the previous token. Other than this, IGZXAPI doesn't register any ESTAE or recovery routines. This should not affect the use of ESTAE in IGZXAPI's caller.
