Resolving The Problem

In Chapter 7. Call instruction application programming interface, section Bit-string processing, heading EZACIC04, replace the figure titled "EZACIC04 call instruction example" with the following text and updated example:

Upon return, register 15 contains a return code value that indicates whether the data translation successfully occurred:
                                                             
 0 - the data translation occurred                            
 8 - too many parameters passed, translation did not occur    
12 - zero buffer length passed, translation did not occur    
16 - zero buffer address passed, translation did not occur    
                                                           
       WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.                          
                                                         
           01  OUT-BUFFER   PIC X(length of output).      
           01  LENGTH       PIC 9(8) BINARY.              
                                                         
       PROCEDURE DIVISION.                                
                                                         
            CALL 'EZACIC04' USING OUT-BUFFER LENGTH.      
            IF RETURN-CODE > 0                            
               THEN                                      
               DISPLAY 'TRANSLATION FAILED ' RETURN-CODE.
