Hello,

Following statement running fine with COBOL v6.1 but failing with NUMCHECK with COBOL v6.2. Program we compiled with 6.1 is already in production. Below snippet is having the same data type as that of prod program but compiled with 6.2

Any insight in this behaviour change?

rsantosh,

The COBOL V6.2 August, 2020 PTF UI71111 (on RSU2009) and the COBOL V6.3 September, 2020 PTF UI71591 (on RSU2012) improved the functionality of NUMCHECK by adding a check to validate the contents of an alphanumeric data item used as a sender to a numeric data item in a MOVE statement. A subsequent PTF corrected an issue with the length of the data being checked in the alphanumeric sender.
