setting aside the "why", the translator shouldn't dump.
setting aside your smiley, the following program produces
the correctly rounded integer result '1':

DCL DD AVG-CHANGE BIN(4) UNSGND;
DCL DD NEW-COUNT  BIN(4) UNSGND INIT(3);;
DCL DD CHANGE  PKD(21,0) INIT(P'2');

DIV(R) AVG-CHANGE, CHANGE, NEW-COUNT;

a packed integer is still an integer.
This little piece of code gave me grief.
Just venting some of that.
