  Message:      1009
 
  Text:         Closing delimiter for DBCS literal not found.
                Delimiter assumed
 
  Explanation:  You have not included the quotation mark to show the
                end of the Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) literal. Your
                COBOL system has assumed that you intended to end the
                literal at this point.
