of the constant list. If your program is adversely affected, correct the group comparison

expression as described in Section 4, Expressions

The evaluation of an expression caused the value in a USE register to be overwritten.

Multiplication of two FIXED values, for example, can cause this to occur. If this affects

your program adversely, use a local variable in place of the USE register.

The fpoint of an actual FIXED reference parameter does not match that of the formal

parameter. The system applies the

fpoint of the formal parameter to the actual

parameter.

A numeric constant represents a value that is too large for its data type, or an overflow

occurs while the compiler scales a quadrupleword constant up or down.

The fpoint in a FIXED declaration or the scale parameter of the $SCALE function is

less than –19 or greater than 19. The compiler sets the

fpoint to the maximum limit,

either –19 or 19.

Although the source code can contain more than one MAIN procedure, in the object

code only the first MAIN procedure the compiler sees retains the MAIN attribute.

If the program contains any COBOL or COBOL85 program units, the MAIN procedure

must be written in COBOL or COBOL85, respectively. For more information, see the

COBOL85 Reference Manual.
