APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the WPS scanner on a file with the word DATA in the
  A-margin (columns 8-12), it confuses it with the use in the
  header: DATA DIVISION and causes an error:
  RC=8 TYPE=COBOL AES1004E: Found unsupported syntax 'DATA' in
  line xx.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The WPS-based COBOL scanner considered the word 'DATA' in the
  A-margin to be an indication for the start of the DATA DIVISION
  header.
  

Problem conclusion

• The scanner's lexical analysis was corrected to consider the
  word 'DATA' as an indication for the start of the DATA DIVISION
  only when followed immediately by the word 'DIVISION'
  regardless of margin boundaries.
  Fix to be in RAA 6.1.0.6
  

Temporary fix
