  Text:         Illegal currency symbol
 
  Explanation:  The literal which you have specified in the
                CURRENCY SIGN IS clause in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph
                of your program is not one of those permitted under
                the rules of COBOL syntax, or if it is then you have
                failed to enclose it in quotation marks.  The
                literal must be a single character, not a digit, and
                cannot be any of the following, A B C D L P S V X Z
                * + - , . ; ( ) " / = or space (except in ANS85 and
                VSC2 where L is valid).
 
  Resolution:   Change the literal to a permitted character and
                ensure that it is enclosed in quotation marks.
