  Text:         REDEFINES ignored for 01 level item in FILE or
                COMMUNICATION SECTION
 
  Explanation:  You have tried to REDEFINE a data item in the File or
                Communication Section, but the data item is an 01
                level item.  Level 01 items for the same FD or CD
                automatically redefine one another anyway.
