  tool IGVDGNPP active resulted in ASCII output instead of EBCDIC.
  

Problem conclusion

• One of the pointers in the Enterprise PL/I I/O library code was
  not initialized properly, causing random storage area to be
  referenced when checking an internal flag for the ASCII/EBCDIC
  state. The Enterprise PL/I library has been modified to correct
  the problem.
