  Text:         DBCS literal must contain an even number of
                characters. Literal truncated
 
  Explanation:  All Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) symbols are two
                bytes (two characters) long.  You have specified a
                literal that consists of an odd number of characters.
                Your COBOL system ignores the last, single character
                of the literal.
