Message: 0221
Text: Data description qualifier inappropriate or repeated
Explanation: You have used a data description qualifier which is
incompatible with the associated PICTURE clause. For
example, you may have used a BLANK WHEN ZERO clause for a
PIC XX data item. This is illegal as the data item is
alphanumeric but the associated qualifier refers only to
numeric items.
Alternatively, you have used more than one PICTURE
clause to define a single data item when each data item
should have only one PICTURE clause associated with it.
Resolution: Revise the qualifier or the data type to ensure that they
are compatible.
Delete any extra PICTURE clause to leave only one
for that data item.
