  Text:         Cannot reference DEBUG-ITEM outside declaratives
 
  Explanation:  You have referred to your COBOL system-generated data
                item DEBUG-ITEM in a procedure that is not in the
                Declaratives section of your program's Procedure
                Division.  References to DEBUG-ITEM are only permitted
                in the Declaratives section.
 
  Resolution:   Delete the reference to DEBUG-ITEM, or move it to
                the Declaratives section.
