Answer Posted / 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.
