when we are executed this program we got it following
discription.
*More than 18 digit positions were specified in
a "PICTUURE" string for a numeric or numeric edited item.
A "PICTURE" string of "S9(18)" was assumed
.
* Numeric literal "1111111111111111111" was longer than
than the maximum allowed length. The literal was truncated
to "111111111111111111".
