If move-with-truncation is a conventional COBOL operation,
the resolution should not be, "Don't do that!"

I detest quiet truncation.  It's hardly better if it takes an
inordinately long time.

Another possible resolution, with its own performance consequence,
is for the compiler-generated code to test (every time) whether
overflow is about to occur and handle it as a special case.  It
might be better just to abandon the use of DFP.
