The message gives you a warning.  A warning only means that the compiler
detected something you may not have intended (an implicit conversion),
not that the program is incorrect.   Referencing an un-initialized variable
is also perfectly proper PL/I but you would like to have to compiler warn
you that you have done this if it can.

The way to eliminate such warnings is to use the /NOWARN qualifier on the
command line.
