The method that you choose does not apply to every misaligned address, only to those
that would have been rounded down in RVUs prior to G06.17.
Note. ROUND and NOROUND misalignment handling are both intended as temporary
solutions, not as a substitute for changing your program to ensure that it has only aligned

Programs that depend on NOROUND misalignment handling cannot be safely migrated to all
present and future NonStop operating system platforms or to systems configured with ROUND
or FAIL misalignment handling.
Programs that depend on ROUND misalignment handling cannot be safely migrated “as is” to
future NonStop operating system platforms or to systems configured with NOROUND or FAIL
misalignment handling.
