I will not repeat the good advice you have already been given, but I
do want to add that the error message
IBM1058I I 239.0 Conversion from BIT to FIXED BIN(31) will be done by
library call.
should receive your user's particular attention. This conversion
seldom---indeed almost never---yields the results expected by any but
highly expert PL/I programmers; and when it is done implicitly it is
in my experience an all but certain indicator that something has been
misconceived.
At a minimum your user should review the conversion rules involved
here. They are admirably consistent, but they violate most people's
notions of minimal surprise.
