Lists the Syntax Checking error messages from COBCH1101 through COBCH1120.
COBCH1101 No COBOL statement between periods
You have placed one period immediately following another period. This is not against the rules of COBOL syntax, but it might indicate a fault in your program, for example, you might have wanted to include a line of source code here.
COBCH1102 Blank continuation source line. Line ignored
You have placed a hyphen in column 7, but the rest of the line contains no other code. The next line should also contain a hyphen in column 7, to continue correctly.
COBCH1104 77 level item in File Section. Processed as 01 level
You have assigned a level of 77 to a data item in the File Section which is against the rules of COBOL syntax. Your COBOL system assumes that you had intended to code this as an 01 level item, and processes it as such.
COBCH1106 ZERO value for BY operand. Statement processed as written
You have used the BY operand with the verb PERFORM, but the value you have specified for the increment is zero. Your COBOL system produces code to execute this statement, but the value is never incremented.
COBCH1108 Signed numeric compared with group. Processed as alphanumeric compare
You have written your code so that a signed numeric field is compared with a group item. Your COBOL system has treated the signed numeric field as an alphanumeric field for the comparison. There are no problems with comparing a signed numeric field with an elementary item.
COBCH1109 WITH DEBUGGING MODE not specified. Section ignored
Your program includes the USE FOR DEBUGGING statement in a section in the Declaratives of your Procedure Division, but you have not included the WITH DEBUGGING MODE clause in the Source-Computer paragraph. Your COBOL system ignores all code in this section.
COBCH1110 First literal is greater than second. Processed as written
In the ALPHABET clause the first literal that is specified has a value greater than that of the second, for example, P THRU D. Your COBOL system accepts this as written, that is, the characters are processed in reverse order.
COBCH1111 Boundary violation. Processed as written
You have tried to access an item beyond the end of a table. Your COBOL system generates code to access the appropriate line of code beyond the end of the table, but the result of this is undefined.
COBCH1113 Imperative statement missing - CONTINUE assumed
Your program contains a conditional statement which has not been followed by an imperative statement. Your COBOL system executes the code, but the result of this might be undefined.
COBCH1114 Clause treated as documentary
You have assigned more than one external file reference to a SELECT ... ASSIGN clause. Your COBOL system accepts the first external file reference, but treats all remaining external file references in that clause as documentary.
COBCH1115 SAME AREA treated as SAME RECORD AREA
You are using a program converted from DG Interactive COBOL to this COBOL that contains a SAME AREA clause. Your COBOL system has assumed that the SAME RECORD AREA clause is what was meant.
