statement.
Solution: Integers must be whole numbers from
-2,147483,647 to +2,147,483,647. Verify that you have not
included a number with a fractional portion or a number
outside the acceptable range. Verify also that you have not
inadvertently entered a letter in place of a number (for
example,
125p3
instead of
12503
).

Description: An illegal floating-point number has been
found in the statement.
Solution: Verify that you have not inadvertently entered a

instead of

).

mail, or a CONTROL character) in the line prior to the
