Enterprise Cobol V4/V6 - Defect - Error in mask for numeric-edited currency sign with 3 characters

There is an error in the generation of the mask that allows to edit a numeric value with both a currency symbol of more than one character, and a floating sign.
At execution a part of currency symbol is lost.

This concerns the Enterprise Cobol compiler in V4R2 version and V6R2 version.

    the same error appears at all levels of optimizations in Cobol V4R2 and Cobol V6R2, although with Cobol V6R2 and OPTIMIZE (1|2) it is not the ED and EDMK assembly instructions that are used to format the numeric-edited data-item.

    In Cobol V6R2 OTIMIZE (1|2) the binary code generated to format the numeric-edited data item is much more complex than Cobol V6R2 OPTIMIZE (0) or Cobol V4R2 at all optimization levels.
