Confirmed as a dream. Realised about three minutes after I got into bed. Stayed there, it was Sunday. Actually it wasn't, it was already today. This is what I was thinking of: "For bad data in zoned-decimal data items, we have something coming: • SSRANGE-like checking for zoned-decimal data items!" From S16615 - How to Take Advantage of the New COBOL V5 Compiler.pdf NUMPROC(NOPFD) already deals interestingly with sign-problems for packed-decimal, so nothing new needed. Whether the same as with NUMPROC(MIG) I haven't checked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
