  Message:      1005
 
  Text:         Name ends in hyphen.  Processed as written
 
  Explanation:  You have used a hyphen as the last character in a
                user-defined name, which is against the rules of COBOL
                syntax. Your COBOL system has accepted this as a
                valid name, however, and has not changed the name in any
                way.
