COBCH1645 KEY phrase missing

A WRITE statement referencing a dictionary item must specify the KEY phrase.

In the following example, the syntax for the write expression is incomplete. Specify the key phrase, such as key "key1" to correct the syntax.

class-id myClass.
method-id myMethod.
01 dict1 dictionary[string, string].
   write dict1 from "Hello"																*> add key "key1" here
   rewrite dict1 from "Goodbye" key "key1"
end method.
end class.
