I'm hijacking this reply to report that even the ILE compiler
still converts binary to packed internally.
     9     000900 77 BIN PIC S9(9) BINARY.
   12     001300     ADD 1 TO BIN
compiles to (W-code)
SBDY   12
LOD1
CVSBPD   <== convert binary to packed
LOD1
ADDP       <== add packed
SHFD
CVPDSB  <== convert packed to binary
STR1
this was compiled with standard options.
Now try COMPASBIN:
  STMT PL SEQNBR -A 1 B..+....2....+....3....+
           000100 PROCESS COMPASBIN
     1     000200 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
*        MSGID: LNC0026  SEVERITY: 10  SEQNBR:  000100
         Message . . . . :   Option expected, 'COMPASBIN' found. 'COMPASBIN'
           ignored.
what did I do wrong here?
