Error description

  • Client using Rational Cobol Runtime for zSeries v6.0.1 -
    Enterprise Generation Language.
    
    Problem EGL was doing a numeric move of the NUM data to a CHAR
    field, which can cause an 0C7 ABEND if the data is not numeric.
    Previously VisualAge Generator performs an overriding CHARacter
    move from the NUMeric field, avoiding the numeric conversion,
    which avoids an ABEND0C7 for VAGen.
