Hello,

In simple BMS screen setup, the two scenarios occur.
It seems to imply the COBOL floating dollar sign picture clause has a problem.
The BMS screen still seems to work, but the generate produces the error message shown below.
Is there a way to use COBOL floating dollar sign picture clause and not get these error messages.
Changing to COBOL floating zero suppression Z picture does not produce any error messages.
======================
#1 - With $ in PICOUT, these MNOTE messages appear.

1416 TOTAL DFHMDF POS=(9,31), X
LENGTH=13, X
COLOR=TURQUOISE, X
ATTRB=(NORM,PROT), X
PICOUT='$$,$$$,$$9.99'
** ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 1510+ 0,SPECIFIED LENGTH IS 13 AND IS EQUAL TO CALCULATED OUTPUT LENGTH. 02-DFHBM
** ASMA254I *** MNOTE *** 1511+ 0,COBOL CURRENCY SIGN $ IS ASSUMED TO BE REPLACED BY A CURRENCY STX02-DFHBM
+ RING CONTAINING A SINGLE CHARACTER.
1524 ***********************************************************************
======================
#2 - Remove $ in PICOUT and MNOTE messages go away.

1416 TOTAL DFHMDF POS=(9,31), X
LENGTH=13, X
COLOR=TURQUOISE, X
ATTRB=(NORM,PROT), X
PICOUT='ZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99'
1522 ***********************************************************************
======================

Regards,
Greg
