This informational message is generated when COMPUTATIONAL or COMP usage in a data description entry is not processed as BINARY
usage.
This message is generated only for the first instance of the COMPUTATIONAL or COMP usage in the source file. The message
contains only the
usage in effect for COMPUTATIONAL or COMP usage, that is, one of DISPLAY, PACKED-DECIMAL or UNPACKED-DECIMAL.
Note: UNPACKED-DECIMAL is not a usage that can be explicitly specified in a data description entry; UNPACKED-DECIMAL can only be
specified by specifying COMP"UNPACKED" and using the COMPUTATIONAL or COMP usage in a data description entry.
COMPUTATIONAL or COMP usage in a data description entry is normally processed as BINARY usage. The COMP directive can specify
DISPLAY, PACKED or UNPACKED for COMP usage to provide compatibility with other COBOL dialects. The DIALECT directives may
cause one of these alternative forms for COMP usage to be chosen. For example DIALECT"RM" causes UNPACKED to be chosen and
the MS directive causes DISPLAY to be chosen.
