Having the compiler points out invalid move

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

During the COBOL 6 migration we encounter several cases where some invalid data are moved into numeric edited decimal data. Eg:

01 W-PIC9-1 PIC 9.
01 W-PIC9-2 PIC 9.


MOVE 'à' TO W-PIC9-1
[...]
IF W-PIC-9-1 = W-PIC9-2
[...]
Could supply you with the real source if need.
With the V4 compilers this case works with COBOL V6 it fails with an 0C7. simply because in V4 the comparison was a CLC and now it's a CP that requires a valid data.
