The 'CONV_IB(PartNo)'  was previously recommended, to ensure the 'Part
Number' returned is an integer value, and to overcome potential
problems otherwise if the CALLing program and the Distributed
Algorithm specify different 'PRECISION's

The 'MALLOCTYPE' environment variable is no longer relevant on Aix
systems running jBASE 5.018 and above ( as in this case )
