     A program compiled with CHECKDIV"OSVS", CHECKDIV"VSC2" or
     CHECKDIV"COBOL370" set will produce run-time error 48 upon an attempt
     to divide by zero. Setting this switch off (-O) disables this error,
     causing the program to continue with undefined results. This switch
     has no effect on programs that were not compiled using one of the
     above directive settings.
