    The compiler's internal state may become inaccurate if a
    L1-digit value is first moved to L1-digit data item and then
    moved a L2-digit SIGN LEADING SEPARATE CHARACTER data item,
    where L1 > L2.
    When the compiler detects that its internal state is
    inaccurate, it abends.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was fixed to update its internal state correctly.
    

Temporary fix
