Error description

  • Japanese messages in the listing, between message number 7000
    to 7999, may contain invalid message text because the message
    was split between two lines without correctly appending and
    prepending the DBCS Shift-In and Shift-Out character
    respectively, as appropriate.
    
    The compiler was updated to append and prepend the DBCS
    Shift-In and Shift-Out character appropriately for those
    messages.
