COBCH1019 Unsigned numeric literal expected. Sign ignored
COBCH1019 Unsigned numeric literal expected. Sign ignored
You have specified a sign where one is not expected, for example, you have used the AFTER ADVANCING +1 or BEFORE ADVANCING -2 clause to the WRITE statement. Your COBOL system ignores the sign, and treats the digits as a positive value.
