Declaratives provide special section that are executed when
an exceptional condition occurs. They must be grouped
together and coded at the beginning of procedure division
and the entire procedure division must be divided into
sections. The Declaratives start with a USE statement. The
entire group of declaratives is preceded by DECLARIVES and
followed by END DECLARITIVES in area A. The three types of
declaratives are Exception (when error occurs during file
handling), Debugging (to debug lines with 'D' coded in w-s
section) and Label (for EOF or beginning...) declaratives.

Consider the following code: 77 A PIC 99V99 VALUE 55.35 77 B PIC 99V999 VALUE 32.754 ADD B TO A ON SIZE ERROR DISPLAY "ERROR!!!" What will be the result ? (a) A=88.10, B=32.754 (b) A=87.00 B=32.754 (c) A=87.10 B=32.754 (d) ERROR!!! will be DISPLAYed on the screen.
