  Text:         Compatibility directive forcing non standard behavior
 
  Explanation:  When the RM directive is set and an alphanumeric
                data item is MOVEd to a numeric data item which is
                defined as larger, your COBOL system adds space
                characters to the front of the MOVEd data item.  Under
                the RM/COBOL system, however, leading zeros are added
                to the front of the alphanumeric data item when it is
                MOVEd to a numeric data item which is defined as
                larger.
