APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Defining "S9(6) COMP" as a format for a data element in COBOL
  FACET raises a warning.
  When a data is defined in PACBASE facet first, with a numeric
  type, and "C" internal usage and then the COBOL is defined (in
  COBOL facet), with internal format "S9(6) COMP3.
  This raises a "red cross" on the entity.
  If another data is defined in the COBOL facet (without
  instantiating PACBASE extension attributes), with the same COBOL
  internal format "S9(6) COMP", there is no error indicator.
