Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5.1 compiling and  *
  *                 running programs compiled with the           *
  *                 ZONECHECK(MSG) option.                       *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Usability. The runtime message produced *
  *                      when bad zoned decimal values are       *
  *                      encountered currently does not contain  *
  *                      sufficient information to help users    *
  *                      identify the problem.                   *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  The runtime message for bad zoned decimal data did not actually
  report the bad value that was encountered nor the name of the
  COBOL program that referenced the bad value when ZONECHECK(MSG)
  was specified.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The compiler was updated to generate code that produces an
  enhanced runtime message that makes clear the bad zoned decimal
  value that was encountered as well as the name of the COBOL
  program that referenced the bad value.
