  Text:         IF....ELSE or scope-delimiter mismatch
 
  Explanation:  There is an error in your coding of an IF statement
                in the Procedure Division of your program. The two halves
                of one IF statement do not match.
 
                Alternatively, you have made an error in coding a construct
                that uses one of the scope delimiters (for example,
                END-ADD). There is a mismatch between the number of scope
                delimiters and the statements whose scope they delimit.
 
 
  Resolution:   Ensure you do not have more ELSE phrases than IF
                phrases.
 
                Revise your source code.
