  Message:      1003
 
  Text:         First character of a continued literal not a quote.
                Quote assumed
 
  Explanation:  You have included a continuation character in column
                7, but you have forgotten to start the continuation of the
                literal with a quotation mark. Your COBOL system assumes
                that the quotation mark is included.
