CPYNV is not necessary to handle decimal data types.  The following works at 
440:

#include <decimal.h>       
int main ( void )          
{                          
   _Decimal(5,0) dec = 0;  
   return(0);;              
}                          

Since you say it works on 450 also (and when TGTRLS is 450) then it sounds 
like a defect and should be reported to IBM as an APAR -- unless it is a 
limitation of the wonderful new PASE compilers. What happens with 
TGTRLS(V5R1M0)?

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
