Cause
A table key data item is defined in, or as, a subordinate table item.
183 (Error)

with a numeric data item is neither ZERO (or one of its equivalents) nor a numeric literal, as it
must be.
185 (Error)

Cause
A literal in the VALUE clause describing a nonnumeric data item or data structure, or a
condition-name associated with either type of item, is larger than the data item itself.
186 (Error)

Cause
The VALUE clause describing a nonnumeric data item or data structure, or a condition-name
associated with either type of item, contains a numeric literal.
187 (Error)
Signed literal not permitted for unsigned numeric data item
Cause
The VALUE clause describing an unsigned numeric data item or a condition-name associated
with an unsigned numeric data item contains a signed numeric literal.
188 (Error)

Cause
The VALUE clause describing a numeric data item, or a condition-name associated with a numeric
data item, contains a literal that cannot be assigned to the data item without truncating nonzero
digits.
