    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In rare cases, COBOL modules optimized  *
    *                      by the Automatic Binary Optimizer may   *
    *                      incorrectly set a numeric value when    *
    *                      the move is from a non-numeric variable *
    *                      to a numeric variable and said move is  *
    *                      contained under an if statement, even   *
