Error description
Enable NUMCHECK(BIN) checking on COMP data items even when TRUNC(BIN) is in effect

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V6 who want to do * * NUMCHECK(BIN) checking even with * * TRUNC(BIN) in effect. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When we implemented NUMNCHECK(BIN), we * * disabled the NUMCHECK(BIN) feature if * * TRUNC(BIN) was in effect, since you * * can't have overpopulated binary items * * with TRUNC(BIN). However, some * * customers want to check anyway to see * * if they can switch to TRUNC(OPT). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** Customer wanted to check for 'overpopulated' data items using NUMCHECK(BIN) even with TRUNC(BIN), but the compiler did not support this.
Problem conclusion
The compiler was changed to enable NUMCHECK(BIN) checking for binary data items (COMP,COMP-4, and USAGE BINARY) even when TRUNC(BIN) is in effect. Note that checking will still not be done for COMP-5 items, because even if a user switches to TRUNC(OPT), COMP-5 items cannot be overpopulated.
