RE: Level 66 and managed code

I just tested this with both 2.3 and 2.3 update 1 and I cannot reproduce the problem you are seeing.

Perhaps this is related to a directive that you are using that I am not.

Could you try creating a new managed code console project and replacing the contents of Program1.cbl with the following to see if you still get the error?

      program-id. Program1 as "testman66.Program1".
      data division.
      working-storage section.
      01  PREV-BC-CTL.
         10  P-BRCLGROUP             PIC 9          VALUE ZERO.
         10  P-ENPG                  PIC 9          VALUE ZERO.
         10  P-ERATE                 PIC X(5)       VALUE SPACES.
         10  P-FORM                  PIC X          VALUE SPACE.
      66  P-BC-NPG-RATE  RENAMES P-BRCLGROUP THRU P-ERATE.
      procedure division.

          MOVE SPACES TO P-BC-NPG-RATE
          if P-BC-NPG-RATE = spaces
             display "ok"
          else
             display "no"
          end-if

          goback.

      end program Program1.
