Error description
Rational COBOL Runtime for zSeries V6.0.1: The results of running the generated COBOL for StrLib.formatNumber are incorrect. For example, with the following code: input_Number num(17,2) = 12345678; Input_String char(21) = "&&/&&/&&&&"; output_Format char(21) = StrLib.formatNumber(input_Number, input_String); The generated Java and EGL debugger results are: output_Format = 12/34/5678 which is the correct result while the generated COBOL results are: output_Format = 12345678
