STMT NO. MESSAGE
4 IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER u ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
4 IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER t ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
4 IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER c ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
4 IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER c ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
4 IEFC620I UNIDENTIFIABLE CHARACTER v ON THE EXEC STATEMENT
