    caused the conversion condition.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • The Enterprise PL/I run time library is changed for the
    ONSUBCODE built-in function to set the value of the index of
    the character that caused the conversion condition.
    
    The Enterprise PL/I Language Reference manual, SC14-7285-04,
    will also be updated as follows:
    
    In chapter "Built-in functions, pseudovariables, and
                subroutines"
      section "Categories of built-in functions"
      subsection "Condition-handling built-in functions"
    
      In table Condition-handling built-in functions:
      - For Function ONSUBCODE, the following description is added:
        For conversion conditions, returns the index of the
        character that caused a conversion condition.
    
      For ONSUBCODE built-in functions, the following paragraph is
      added:
      - If a CONVERSION condition is raised, ONSUBCODE returns the
        index of the character that caused the conversion.
