  Text:         WORKING-STORAGE missing
 
  Explanation:  The words WORKING-STORAGE are missing from the
                relevant section heading within the Data Division or,
                if present, have not been recognized by your COBOL
                system.  This may be due to a spelling mistake or to
                their position in your code.
 
  Resolution:   Refer to your Language Reference for details of
                how the Data Division should be structured.
