  Text:         PICTURE string has illegal precedence or illegal
                character
 
  Explanation:  You have used a character within a PICTURE clause that
                your COBOL system does not recognize, or which is
                illegal for that particular type of PICTURE string.
 
  Resolution:   A full list of permitted characters can be found in
                your Language Reference. Alter the relevant PICTURE
                clause.
