Error description
A loop occurs in Enterprise PL/I library routine IBMQLEX in load module IBMPDAPI while processing a command issued from the Debug tool command line to assign a decimal value to a PL/I variable. A valid assignment, such as x = .01, where x is declared as a decimal number, can cause the loop.
