COBCH0061 - COBCH0080

Lists the Syntax Checking error messages from COBCH0061 through COBCH0080.

COBCH0061 Pseudo text incorrectly specified
A two-character delimiter for pseudotext is missing from either a REPLACE or COPY REPLACING statement.
COBCH0062 Nested COPY replacement causes termination of parent COPY replacement
When text replacement is already active because a parent COPY statement uses the REPLACING phrase, any text replacement specified in a nested COPY statement that uses the REPLACING phrase terminates (or overrides) all copy text replacement specified in the parent COPY statement.
COBCH0063 Cannot be used in nested program
Your program contains a statement or clause that is not valid in a nested program.
COBCH0064 If file is EXTERNAL, then PADDING CHARACTER must be also
If a file is defined as EXTERNAL then the data item specified in the associated PADDING CHARACTER clause must also be defined as EXTERNAL.
COBCH0065 Unsigned integer required
An unsigned integer was expected but not supplied.
COBCH0066 Data item must have fixed location
An item which is part of an OCCURS ... DEPENDING ON (ODO) table entry is being used as a subscript to the table, or to another ODO table earlier in the group. This is not allowed.
COBCH0068 SQL error
The compiler detected the error shown on your screen in your SQL syntax.
COBCH0069 Error code code during SQL Remote Precompile. Cannot continue.
The compiler detected the error code ruring the remote SQL precompile.
COBCH0070 Invalid argument
You have either specified a COBOL system directive with an invalid argument in a $SET statement in your program or you have specified an incorrect argument type for an intrinsic function.
COBCH0071 PROCEDURE DIVISION missing or unknown statement
You have omitted the PROCEDURE DIVISION header, and have then started without a verb.
COBCH0072 Invalid FUNCTION name
The name specified after the word FUNCTION is not a recognized function-name. It is possible you are using the word "function" as a data-name. This word is a reserved word.
COBCH0073 Missing left parenthesis
You have specified an intrinsic function which requires parameters, but have not preceded the parameter list with a left parenthesis.
COBCH0074 Numeric argument expected
You have specified a nonnumeric argument with an intrinsic function which is expecting a numeric argument.
COBCH0075 Alphanumeric argument expected
You have specified a numeric argument with an intrinsic function where an alphanumeric argument was expected.
COBCH0076 Illegal combination of argument types
The set of arguments you have specified with an intrinsic function do not match the types required for that function.
COBCH0077 Unexpected end of source within EXEC
The end of a program source was encountered in an EXEC statement. This probably indicates that an END-EXEC has been omitted earlier in the program.
COBCH0078 Numeric function not allowed
You have specified an intrinsic function that returns a numeric value in a position where a numeric value is not allowed.
COBCH0079 Argument must have length 1
The argument you have specified does not have a length of 1.
COBCH0080 Prompt character incompatible for ACCEPT
