RE: EVAL(H) issue in V5R2

The extension to 31 digits in V5R2 could account for the difference since
the DECPREC keyword only governs the maximum size of filed that you can
define.  The precision of intermediate results was upped from 30 to 31 (and
then to 63 or whatever) in V5R3.

Since there is a multiplication following the division in the expression in
question, it is certainly possible that a previously discarded decimal digit
now affects the results.

There will be more of these situations as we move to V5R3.
