Cume causes purchase or hardware was: CL Variable being changed by called CL program

>From what I'm told, the cume package caused the software that controlled our
Symbol brand scanners to cease communicating with the iSeries.
Interestingly, the Teklogix (spelling?) continued to function properly.  We
had to purchase new controllers and software and convert from SNA to IP
based communication with the scanners.  This apparently ran into an amount
of money approaching the purchase price of a nice car. 

Chances are this potential problem was documented somewhere in the cover
letters for the cume but I didn't ask whether anyone read it.
