  ****************************************************************
  A COBOL runtime routine did not properly identify the data
  type when reference modification was used for a GROUP data
  item. This caused the remote debugger to issue an error message
  rather than displaying the value of the reference modified data
  item.
  
  This problem only occurs when using reference modification for
  a GROUP data item while running with the remote debugger. It
  does not occur when running with MFI or using reference
  modification for an elementary data item.
  

Problem conclusion

• The COBOL runtime is modified to correctly identify and process
  the data type for a reference modified GROUP data item.
