  Text:         Nonnumeric literal has length of zero.  One SPACE
                assumed
 
  Explanation:  The alphabetic or alphanumeric literal you have defined
                in your source code is empty, that is, you have a pair of
                quotation marks with no character between them. Your
                COBOL system has assumed that the literal contains one
                space character.
