  Text:         Unrecognized data description qualifier or '.' missing
 
  Explanation:  A qualifier (for example, JUST or COMP) is misspelled
                in the description of a data-item.
 
  Resolution:   A list of possible qualifiers can be found in the
                Language Reference. Check the spelling of the
                qualifier in your code.
 
                Alternatively you have not placed the necessary period at
                the end of a PICTURE clause.
 
                Add the period.
