  Text:         DBCS literal has length of zero. Length of one DBCS
                character assumed
 
  Explanation:  The Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) literal you have
                defined in your source code is empty, that is, you have a
                pair of quotation marks with no DBCS character between
                them. Your COBOL system has assumed that the literal is two
                characters long, and that it has a value of spaces.
