IDCMSSTR06 - An alphanumeric field, FIELD-NAME, used as a "START" or "LENGTH" clause operand, will cause execution time errors if it is not an integer numeric value

Reason:

Each alphanumeric field is converted to a numeric value at run-time. If it cannot be converted or has decimal places, a run-time error occurs.

Action:

None. This is only a warning.
