Thank goodness for PL/I (better than C, better than Fortran, better than Pascal)

I transcribed a program from Pascal to PL/I. The author claimed that
only an array required long integers;
all scalar variables were ordinary (short) integers.
Fortunately, as always, I enabled subscriptrange, size, and
fixedoverflow,
for a fixed-point overflow occurred part-way in the results (derived
iteratively).
That allowed me to ascertain quickly which variable was involved.
