Problem summary


    

  • When the Num data was converted from EBCDIC to ASCII after
the call, an error in the conversion routine resulted in the
value being negative rather than positive.  EGL failed to
recognize the xC0 sign byte that indicated a positive value.
 Usually xF0 is used for positive numbers, but xC0 is
allowed too.
