Message: 0312
Text: Invalid arithmetic statement
Explanation: An arithmetic statement which you have used in the
Procedure Division does not conform to the rules of COBOL
syntax. These statements must begin with an arithmetic
verb (for example SUBTRACT or DIVIDE), followed by the
relevant numeric literals or identifiers which the verb
will act upon when the program is executed. The statement
which you have specified is not a valid one.
Resolution: See your Language Reference for details of
arithmetic statements. Ensure that the one you wish to use
conforms to the relevant rules.
