COBCH1575 SELF and SUPER cannot be receiving items

The following example shows correct and an incorrect usage of the self:: syntax:

class-id myClass.
  01 field-a string.
  method-id myMethod.
    set self to "Micro Focus"			*> this is incorrect
    set self::field-a to "Micro Focus"		*> this is correct	
  end method.
end class.

Refer to Managed COBOL language reference for expected syntax.
