  Text:         First data name does not precede second
 
  Explanation:  You have included the syntax data-name-1 RENAMES
                data-name-2 THRU data-name-3 in your program, but the
                data item you have specified for data-name-2 is
                declared after the data item for data-name-3.  This is
                not valid COBOL syntax, as data-name-2 in a THRU
                clause must be declared before data-name-3.
 
  Resolution:   Check that you have specified the THRU phrase
                correctly.
