DB2 DO NOT SUPPORT THE DECIMAL DATA TYPE ON COBOL ON DB2V95

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
For Cobol procedure creation, we always reproduced this problem 
on db2v9.5: 
Store Procedure Testing in DB2 V9.5 
===================================== 
1.Using language Cobol 
 
create procedure tp.crossbrd ( 
 in    lic_user_id            char(8), 
 in    lic_pgm_id             char(8), 
 in    lic_upd_mode           char(1), 
 in    lic_upd_ind            char(12), 
 out   lic_ret_cd             integer, 
 in    anml_key               integer, 
 in    brd_cd                 char(2), 
 in    portion_16th           smallint, 
 in    anml_reg_cd            decimal(1,0), 
 in    hdbk_sect_cd           char(1), 
 in    hdbk_sect_sts_cd       char(1), 
 in    bsoc_proc_date         char(10), 
 in    frgn_hdbk_anml_num     char(13), 
 in    stud_fee_ind           decimal(1,0), 
 in    hdbk_vol               char(8), 
 in    frgn_hdbk_name         char(30), 
 in    hdbk_sect_sts_id       integer 
) 
       external name 'H80002' 
       language cobol 
       PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL WITH NULLS 
       modifies sql data 
 
 
Result 
=== 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was 
not a 
valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL processing it 
returned: 
SQL0451N  The "PARAMETER #9" definition, in the statement that 
defines 
routine 
"TP      .CROSSBRD", contains a data type "DECIMAL" that is not 
appropriate 
for a non-sourced routine written in the given language.  LINE 
NUMBER=21. 
SQLSTATE=42815

But above test works fine on db2 v82 and db2 v91.
