  Text:         Non-elementary item has JUSTIFIED or BLANK clause
 
  Explanation:  These clauses can be used in the data description
                entry of the Data Division but must be used only with
                elementary data items. Elementary data items are the
                most basic subdivisions of a record as they are not
                subdivided into higher level data items.  You have
                used one of these clauses in conjunction with a
                non-elementary data item (that is, one which contains
                higher level data items).
 
  Resolution:   Revise your program to ensure that these clauses appear
                only with elementary data items.
