Error description

  • There is some code in DFHZLGX that extract the PORT number from
    CV x'64', CV data x'82', using a Load Halword. The LH is a
    signed instruction. This result in the PORT number being
    converted into a negative value. This value is stored in the
    AWE which is used later by DFHZATA to issue message DFHZC6908.
