twice in the program.
The condition-name does not have to be associated with the one-
character data item, or the group (if any) containing that data
item. The THROUGH form of a VALUE clause would be a typical way to
use multiple values in a level-88 condition-name entry, but THROUGH
is not required to trigger the problem.
LIKELIHOOD:
Unlikely
DIRECT IMPACT:
The compilation fails.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
None
WORKAROUND:
1) Change the description of the data item from
"PIC X OCCURS n TIMES" to "PIC X(n)".
2) Remove the GLOBAL or EXTERNAL clause from the item.
3) Avoid level-88 condition-name entries with multiple values.
RECOVERY:
None
