  Text:         Illegal use of phrase for National Language operation
 
  Explanation:  You have included one or more of the following COBOL
                clauses in your program:
 
                PROGRAM COLLATING SEQUENCE IS
                ALPHABET IS
                CURRENCY SIGN IS
                DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA
 
                and you have submitted the program with the NLS (National
                Language Support) directive on, which is not allowed.
 
  Resolution:   Either turn the NLS directive off, or edit your source
                code to ensure none of the above clauses appear in the
                program.
