  Text:         VALUE too long for data item or has too many decimal
                positions
 
  Explanation:   The value you have specified in a VALUE clause is too
                big, or has too many decimal places, to fit in the data
                item. For example, a declaration such as PIC 99 VALUE 123,
                where 123 is too large to fit into the receiving field
                without truncation.
 
  Resolution:   Alter your code so that the data item is large enough
                to receive the value that is to be placed in it.
