Answer / shri
Field 'B' is a group level field (Since field 'C' is
defined under it at 02 level. Now field 'B' being a group
level field cannot have PIC clause. This is first syntex
error.
Further the condition IF (B Numeric) is not a system error
and is a correct cobol statement

Answer / vish
the syntax is wrong..a couple of mistakes...
1. The level of C is 02 which means it is a sublevel of B.
hat being the case B becomes the group level item and hence
the PIC clause for B is invalid.
2. The conditional statement is wrong, correct sysntax can
be either ib below:
IF (B IS NUMERIC)
ADD 10 TO C
IF B IS NUMERIC
ADD 10 TO C
Basically 'IS' is missing from the statement.

HI Vish,
We can use 02 level to describe C.
Only Mistake seems to be Wrong Syntax.
