  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This service contains an update to ABO  *
  *                      that addresses the following issue      *
  *                      that was found in ABO for z/OS, v1.3:   *
  *                                                              *
  *                      In rare situations compiled programs    *
  *                      containing DIVIDE or MULTIPLY           *
  *                      statements may be optimized             *
  *                      incorrectly                             *
  *                      by ABO.                                 *
  *                                                              *
  *                      In the rare cases where the problem is  *
  *                      present it is most likely to occur for  *
  *                      programs where :                        *
  *                       - the OPT(STD) or OPT(FULL) compiler   *
  *                      options were used to compile the input  *
  *                      program to ABO                          *
  *                       - the DIVIDE or MULTIPLY statements    *
  *                      were operating on large enough packed   *
  *                      or zoned decimal data items so the      *
  *                      operation was handled by the library    *
  *                      routine IGZCXDI or IGZCXMU in the       *
  *                      original compiled program               *
  *                                                              *
  *                      The symptom may be an unexpected        *
  *                      IGZ0061S division by zero message for   *
  *                      DIVIDE statements but other unexpected  *
  *                      behavior, abends and results are also   *
  *                      possible.                               *
