  Text:         Literal is numeric - treated as non-numeric
 
  Explanation:  A numeric literal is being used in relation to a
                nonnumeric data item; for example, as the VALUE of an
                88 level entry attached to a nonnumeric data item. The
                literal will be converted to an alphanumeric literal.
