Resolution

Information about the Cobol Convert Macro is provided in the CBLCNVRD member of the Easytrieve's CBAAMAC library. In addition, a new parameter has been added via APAR QO84388 for Easytrieve release 6.4. From its description:

...
/* After applying  this PTF,  you must  use the  COBOL              */
/* I341 parm on the CBLCNVRT invocation to pick up the              */
/* changes.                                                         */
...

The same is true for Easytrieve Report Generator release 11.x If you do not use the I341 parameter for Cobol release 3.4.1, you will encounter S0C1 Abend or the job abends with RC=16 and the following error message:
"EZABX009 An index or subscript is out of range."\

Please use the I341 parameter for Cobol release 3.4.1 to avoid these errors.
