  ****************************************************************
  The COBOL CANCEL logic in the Enterprise COBOL V5 runtime wss
  incorrectly checking for the LE language list CEEBLLST to
  determine whether the program should be deleted from storage or
  not. Since non-LE enabled programs do not have a CEEBLLST, the
  CANCEL logic failed to delete such programs.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Enterprise COBOL V5 runtime has been corrected to properly
  delete programs being CANCELed.
