  Text:         Invalid directive
 
  Explanation:  You have either specified a COBOL system directive in
                the wrong place or specified an invalid COBOL system
                directive in a $SET statement in your program.  Check your
                COBOL System Reference for the correct form of COBOL system
                directives.
 
  Resolution:   For example, you may specify a $SET LIST anywhere, a
                $SET OSVS only before COBOL, and a $SET PREPROCESS only on
                the first line.
