       AUTHOR.        UNKNOWN.
       DATA DIVISION.
       WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
       01  P98Y951                    PIC X(08) VALUE 'P98Y951
'.
       PROCEDURE DIVISION.
       A00-STEUERUNG   SECTION.
           EVALUATE P98Y951
                      WHEN  (NOT '???')
                CONTINUE
           END-EVALUATE
           EVALUATE P98Y95
                CONTINUE
          END-EVALUATE.

clase when surrounded by brackets. As a result, the program did
not compile. The goal was to make the program compile since the
compiler does not recognize this as an error.
