            Bug ID: 120401
           Summary: gcobol allows arithmetic on alphanumeric fields
           Product: gcc
           Version: 15.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: cobol
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: simonsobisch at gnu dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

A PIC XX.   *> alphanumeric
B PIC XBX.  *> alphanumeric-edited
C PIC 99.

COMPUTE B = C * C
COMPUTE A = C * C

should error, but compiles with gcobol

Same may be true with national/national-edited/utf8.
