A-40
Cause. One or more level 88 clauses follow the definition or description of a bit field.
The DDL compiler does not allow level 88 clauses for bit maps because COBOL does
not support such structures, and level 88 items are meaningful only for COBOL.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. To avoid the error message, remove the level 88 clause or clauses
following the bit field and recompile the object.
Cause. A level 88 element directly follows a group element or precedes all elements.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Put the level 88 element after a field description and recompile.
Cause. A level 88 value is incompatible with the type of the field that the level 88
clause describes.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Correct the error and recompile.
Cause. A field definition or description whose type is not ENUM contains a level 89
clause.
Effect. The DDL compiler rejects the object.
Recovery. Remove any level 89 clauses from the field definition or description, or
change the type to ENUM, and recompile.
***ERROR*** LEvel 88 not allowed for bit items
***ERROR*** Level 88 or level 89 must follow elementary items
only
***ERROR*** LEvel 88 value inconsistent with data type
***ERROR*** Level 89 clause must follow an item with TYPE
ENUM
