COBCH1655 Word var1 is not allowed here; ignoring word for ACUCOBOL compatibility

A reserved word has been used in a context where it is not allowed by the language syntax.

This word is ignored by the ACUCOBOL compiler, but in Visual COBOL you should correct the syntax. In the following example, the reserved word 'all' has caused the error: 

01 dash-line pic x(80) value "-"  all.

Either remove the reserved word altogether or move it to the correct location, as shown below: 

01 dash-line pic x(80) value all "-".
