  Text:         SWITCH clause error or system name/mnemonic name error
 
  Explanation:  There is an error in the coding of the SWITCH clause
                of the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph in the Environment
                Division of your program.
 
  Resolution:   Refer to your Language Reference for details of
                the correct syntax for this clause and revise your program
