  Text:         Group level USAGE does not match PICTURE type - USAGE
                ignored
 
  Explanation:  You have declared a PICTURE clause but the group USAGE
                does not match this type.
 
  Resolution:   Either delete the USAGE clause or change the PICTURE
                clause.
