  Text:         Source literal is non-numeric - substituting zero
 
  Explanation:  A MOVE statement is trying to MOVE a nonnumeric
                literal to a numeric data item. This cannot be done.
                To avoid undefined results, ZERO will be moved to the
                target data item.
