  Text:         Literal too long
 
  Explanation:  The literal value you have specified is longer than
                the maximum literal length permitted.
 
  Resolution:   If your literal is numeric, it can be up to 18 digits
                in length. If it is nonnumeric, it can contain up to
                160 characters in the Procedure Division, or 2048
                characters in the Data Division. Ensure that the
                literal value you have specified in your program is
                not longer than the maximum length permitted.
