Message List
175 (Error)
Cause. The description of a data structure includes a BLANK WHEN ZERO,
JUSTIFIED, SYNCHRONIZED, or PICTURE clause.
176 (Warning)
Cause. A data structure described with a SIGN clause has no signed numeric
subordinate data items.
177 (Error)
Cause. A file description that includes the CODE-SET clause violates one of these
rules:
•
All data items defined in the record descriptions must have USAGE DISPLAY.
•
All signed numeric data items must be described as having the sign in a separate
character position.
178 (Error)
Cause. The redefinition is aligned to the first character position of the area it redefines.
HP COBOL does not permit a redefinition that requires allocation of an implicit FILLER
item to properly align the first elementary item.
179 (Error)
Cause. The number of character positions occupied by a redefinition exceeds the
number of character positions occupied by the redefined item, and the redefined item
is not an internal record item.
Elementary data item clause specified for group data item
Group with SIGN clause has no signed numeric subordinate item
Data item attributes not compatible with CODE-SET clause
Redefinition not properly aligned
Redefinition too large
